Huskies move to 9-1 in League

New Hampton was able to move to 20-2 on the year and 9-1 in AAA. The Huskies got off to a poor start, turning the ball over and not getting back on defense in transition. Offensively they were taken out of their game by the full court pressure applied by St. Thomas More. STM opened up a double digit lead half way through the first, but the Huskies were able to cut it down to 1 at half time.

 

At the start of the second, the Huskies came out firing. They were able to turn defense into offense (Mason Blackwood had a ferocious dunk off of a steal that led to a STM timeout). Naz Meyer went on his own personal 8-0 run and the Huskies were able to share the ball. In crunch time, the Huskies got stops, finished possessions with rebounds and were able to make their free throws late. We were able to hold on for the 82-74 victory.

 

The Huskies had in double figures: Naz Meyer (21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals), Mason Blackwood (19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals), Keyshuan Tillery (14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist), Chad Cook (11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal), Jayden Harrington (10 points and 4 rebounds).
