The REPORTER
On Friday night, the Lapel Bulldogs paid a visit to Arcadia for its annual matchup with Hamilton Heights. The Huskies were riding a three-game winning streak that helped even their record at 6-6
Consistency throughout for Lapel was something that Heights unfortunately wasn’t able to keep up with fully. Four Huskies reached double figures, but that wouldn’t be enough in a 77-63 loss to the Bulldogs.
The Huskies trailed after one just 19-14, but the Bulldogs were able to stretch it to nine at halftime for a 36-27 score.
Heights was able to score 18 in both the third and fourth periods, but that seemed to only fuel Lapel. The visitors edged the Huskies 19-18 for a 55-45 double-digit deficit heading to the fourth.
Lapel was able to outlast Hamilton Heights in the final quarter to push away for a 77-63 road win.
John Irion led Heights with 16 on 6-of-9 field goals. Dreydin Serna was right behind with 14, making 7-for-10 from the floor, while Tyler Champion had 11 points and four assists and Tillman Etchison added 10, making five of nine and had five assists.
Hamilton Heights (6-7) had won three in a row and five of its last seven. The Huskies head to Western Boone tonight to face the Stars.
