The Hamilton Heights sixth grade boys basketball team took the top spot at Saturday’s Husky Invite for the second year in a row.
It was the smothering defense the boys played that enabled them to beat Western, for the second time in a week, 48-32. Luke Sullivan with 15 points and Jade Dean with nine, led the Huskies charge. All Husky players saw court action, including Gavin Luchessi, making an impact for his first appearance of the season by scoring eight points.
In the championship game, the Huskies came out strong with their swarming defense and beat the Carmel Greyhounds 37-28. Sullivan led the way with 15 points and Dean with eight, helping to lead the team to a win. All players gave their all this year as the Husky 6A team finished 8-5 and the Husky 6B team finished 7-4.
Special thanks to the coaches, all the players for their hard work and dedication and to the faithful supporters. Coaches for the team are Eric Heuer, Tom Williams and Derrick Dean.
