Warriors down Tigers
VICTOR - The HLV Warrior boy's basketball team jumped on the Iowa Valley Tigers early and pulled away for a 71-30 win on Monday night in Victor. The win lifted the Warriors record to 3-0.
Unlike Friday nights game at BGM, the Warriors came out hot early and built a 19-8 lead after one period of play. The Warriors then extended their advantage to 39-19 at the half-time break. The Warriors would continue to roll in the second half, outscoring the Tigers 32-11 over the final two quarters to pull away for the victory.
"We did a really good job with our half court defense," said HLV coach Zach Tremmel. "We really pushed the ball on offense and did a good job of getting the ball inside to Scott Blomme."
Blomme had another big night, finishing with 24 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Jake Burns had 8 points, 3 assists and 4 steals. Brenden Kuesel had 3 points, 4 assists and 6 steals. Drew Schultz ended the night with 8 points and 4 rebounds, while Bryce Hasley scored 8 points.
Warriors grind out win against BGM
The 9th ranked HLV Warrior boy’s basketball team overcame a slow start to pick up a hard fought 62-48 win at BGM on Friday night. The win improved the Warriors record to 2-0.
Following a 10 day lay-off between games because of weather related cancellations, the Warriors struggled in the early going. BGM would jump to an early 10-3 lead and held a 12-7 advantage after one period of play. The Bears would increase their lead to 20-11 midway through the 2nd period, but the Warriors would close the half on a 12-0 run to take a 23-20 halftime lead.
The game would stay close throughout the 3rd period, with the Warriors holding a 39-36 lead with one period to play. The Warriors would then begin to build on their lead in the 4th quarter and would pull away for the win.
“We came out extremely flat tonight and BGM came out ready to play,” said HLV coach Zach Tremmel. “We found ourselves down as many as 9 points in the first half before we finally started to play some team basketball. The second half we played much better and executed on the offensive end to come away with a win.”
Scott Blomme had a big night for the Warriors, finishing the night with 22 points, 12 rebound, 3 assists and 3 blocked shots. Jon Faga also had a big offensive night, scoring 20 points and grabbing 6 rebounds. Jake Burns had 7 points, 4 assists and 3 steals. Alex Schnebbe came off the bench to score 6 points and grab 4 rebounds, while Brenden Kuesel had 3 points and 5 assists. Bryce Hasley saw his first action of the season Friday night, returning earlier then expected after suffering a knee injury during the football play-offs.
The Warriors will host a very good Lynnville-Sully team on Friday night before taking a two week break over the holidays.
