Last Friday, Hamilton Heights welcomed Northwestern in the first of two home games over the weekend.

The Huskies used a big second half to propel their second win in a row in a 66-56 win over the Tigers.

Heights held a slim 18-15 lead after one, but Northwestern pushed right back to overcome with a 14-10 second to lead 29-28 at halftime.

They got the breather that was needed at halftime. The Huskies scored 19 points in both the third and fourth quarters to outscore the Tigers 38-27 on the way to a 10-point win.

Rees Knapp led all scorers with 24 points on 10-for-19 from the floor. Austin Day and Jackson Mikesell scored eight. Jack Kakasuleff and Will DeStefano both added seven.
