Game Review
In a game closer than the score, Hesperia beat Hesperia Christian 75-58.The Patriots stayed right with Hesperia in the first quarter. In the second quarter when they should have taken advantage of the Scorpions already being in the bonus, the Patriots did not and instead allowed Hesperia to establish a big 20 point lead going into halftime. The third quarter belonged to the Patriots, 18-13. However in the fourth quarter HCS could just not catch Hesperia. HCS just could not slow down or stop Scorpion star Hodges who got 28 points, the most points scored by an individual this season against Hesperia Christian. Hodges kept finding ways to penetrate to the basket and avoid any HCS defense. Strickland of Hesperia added 13 points.

Junior Mike Maerzluft keeps improving each game and tonight he had his best game of his high school career so far. Maerzluft had a double double with 24 points and 10 rebounds.Senior Mike Petersen playing despite illness was still able to come up with his second double double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Seniors Billy Hague and Zach Howard each got 10 points. Junior Jonny Barton got 6 rebounds but his shot seemed to have escaped him.

But the Patriot bench was basically nonexistent this evening, scoring only one point. It was the bench's worst game of the season. Turnovers again exceeded assists. And although HCS made a strong offensive run in the fourth quarter, defensively they could not come up with the stops to allow them to get back into the game. HCS went 1 for 16 from the three-point line. HCS did not have any three-point shooting this game.

So now HCS is 4-3 and will play for third place on Saturday against Div IIAA school, Littlerock at 11:30 am
