The H-BC boys’ basketball team traveled to Marshall to take on the Canby Lancers on Thursday Dec. 30.
The H-BC Patriots were able to take control in the second half to cruise to an 83-68 victory.
In what was a back and forth affair in the first period, senior Cole Baker (25 points, six rebounds, and five assists) and the Patriots outscored the Lancers 47-34 after intermission.
Oliver Deelstra (12 points, six rebounds, and six assists), playing in his first game following an elbow injury suffered during football, helped the offensive explosion for the Patriots. They scored a season-high 83 points after averaging just 46.6 points per game coming into the contest.
Drew Leenderts (six rebounds) rounded out the trio of double digit scorers for the Patriots with 12 points.
Seniors Ty Bundesen and Andrew Harris, both with nine points and four rebounds, and Max Scholten with five points were also contributors for the Pates.
H-BC will look to carry momentum on offense into conference play as they host the Adrian-Ellsworth Dragons Friday night in Hills.
