"They sagged in a zone and we needed to penetrate. Once we did that things turned around for us."Kale Wiertzema tossed in 24 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and picked nine steals for H-BC. Tyler Bush netted 17 points and dished nine assists. Travis Broesder added nine points and Tom LeBoutillier seven points and 12 rebounds.The Patriot defense held the Lions’ 6-9 junior center Dustin Huisman to 10 points."We played pretty well defensively," Coach Wiertzema said.
