ORANGEVILLE - After a slow start, the Black Hawk boys basketball team recovered in the second half to knock off Orangeville, 54-42.
Orangeville led 15-9 after the first quarter. The Broncos expanded that lead to 26-18 at halftime before the Warriors responded with a 22-11 third and 14-5 fourth.
"The kids, mentally, got after it," said Black Hawk coach Corey Manlick. "In the first half, we were like a deer in the headlights. We didn't know what was happening. We got our heads on right, refocused and got after it."
Seth Butler led the Warriors with 16 points. He was joined in double figures by Tyler Peterson, who had 10.
"Peterson did a nice job of getting into a rhythm," Manlick said. "He hit some huge threes, which kinda propelled us."
Black Hawk (19-1, 10-1 in the Six Rivers East) will wrap up their regular season tonight with a game against Argyle.
Boscobel 64, Darlington 49
DARLINGTON - The Darlington boys basketball team struggled Thursday night in a loss at home.
Boscobel outscored Darlington 16-11 in both the first and second quarters, taking a 33-22 halftime lead. Darlington won the third quarter 14-11 to draw to within 7 going into the final period, but Boscobel won the fourth 21-13 to secure the win.
"They shot the ball a lot better than Darlington," said Darlington coach Mike Hopkins. "We did not have the intensity. We didn't play defense or shoot the ball well."
Cody Hardyman led the Redbirds with 14 points. Michael Ruf was the next leading scorer for Darlington, with 9 points.
Darlington is now 6-15 overall and 4-9 in the SWAL. The regular season finale for the Redbirds is Saturday against Southwestern. Hopkins said his team will need to get back to the fundamentals against the Wildcats, who are the number two team in conference.
"We need to get back to the fundamentals," he said. "Play defense and, offensively, get more points on the board."
