The Hamilton Southeastern boys basketball team picked up a major milestone for its coach on Saturday by beating Anderson 81-59 on a home game.
The victory was the 300th win for coach Brian Satterfield, who is in his 19th season of coaching the Royals. Satterfield has been part of a program that has produced two Mr. Basketballs, won three sectional titles and has had 17 winning seasons since 2001-02.
Southeastern led 16-11 after the first quarter and 32-27 at halftime, then pulled away in the second half by scoring 49 points. Three Royals players landed in double figures: Kole Hornbuckle scored 23 points, Vinny Buccilla added 15 and Mabor Majak contributed 12 points.
Majak came close to a triple-double, as he also had eight rebounds and seven blocked shots. Southeastern had 28 assists as a team, with Hornbuckle dishing out eight, Buccilla handing out seven and DeAndre Rhodes providing five. Buccilla also made four steals and Rhodes had two blocks.
The Royals are 7-5 and host Zionsville on Friday as part of a girls-boys Hoosier Crossroads Conference doubleheader.
