Idaho Stampede News Release
One Streak Ends; Another Streak Remains Intact
On Saturday night, the Stampede got their first road win of the season breaking their 4 game road losing streak. In doing so they were able to keep their undefeated streak alive against Eastern Conference opponents. Currently, the Stampede are 3-0 versus the Eastern Conference. Tomorrow they will face their fourth Eastern Conference opponent, the Gary Steelheads. Gary stands atop their conference with a 6-5 record and a one quarter point lead over the Rockford Lightning.

Road Rules
After two games on the road, the Stampede are 1-1 with three games remaining. To this point the team has flown 1900 miles and bused over 300 miles. Their next games are Tuesday against the Gary Steelheads and Friday and Saturday against the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
Boyette Playing at Home
For a few days anyway, Jermaine Boyette will feel just a little bit closer to home then the rest of the Stampede. Boyette attended Hammond High School in Indiana, which is just 10 miles away from Gary.
Toys for Tots
The Stampede is partnering with the US Marine Corps' premier community action program, Toys for Tots. More information will be coming in a press release this week with specifics.
Missing Boxscores
Apparently there have been some problems with Treasure Valley based media not receiving Stampede boxscores from the road. As an FYI, it is the home team's responsibility to fax box scores to media personnel that the Stampede office identifies. However, if you are still not receiving these boxscores from the opposing teams when the Stampede is on the road, please feel free to call me on my cell phone (208-830-7115) or, preferably, the team's office directly. Those phone numbers are available online at www.cbahoopsonline.com.

WIZARDS ON FIRE FROM DEEP
Fourth quarter outburst too much for Stampede
BISMARCK, ND - With 3:40 left to play and the score tied 91-91, the Wizards' Damion Dantzler went on a tear hitting three 3-point field goals in a row on his way to scoring 12 in the quarter and putting the finishing touches on a 110-101 (5,2) win over the Stampede. Dantzler finished with 21 in the game. The Stampede play tonight against the Michigan Mayhem in Muskegon, MI.
The Stampede (4-6) started slow and ended the first quarter down 10 points but veteran Eric Washington brought his team back scoring 15 points in the second quarter to cut the lead to 6. After a solid third quarter outscoring the Wizards 26-19 in which both David Jackson and Jermaine Boyette scored 11 each, the fourth quarter began with the Stampede leading 74-73.
The Stampede were able to push their lead to as many as four in the fourth quarter but strong defense by the Wizards (5-3) and the outburst from Dantzler were too much for Idaho.

NO WARM WELCOME FOR THE PATROONS
Stampede grab 6 quarter points in blow out
BOISE, ID - On a cold night outside of Qwest Arena it was an even colder night inside the arena for the Albany Patroons as the Idaho Stampede outscored them 107-81 (6,1).
After splitting the first quarter with 24 points apiece, the Stampede (4-5) outscored the Patroons (2-6) 71-45 in the second and third quarters. The fourth quarter was also a split.
The Stampede were led by David Jackson and Matt Freije, whom each scored 22 points, and Eric Chenowith that grabbed 17 rebounds.
The Patroons never found their shooting touch. Credit the Stampede for stepping up their defense forcing a dismal 36% from the field, including 4 of 23 from the 3-point line. TJ Thompson was their leading scorer with 20 points.
