MINERAL POINT - Senior A.J. Hendrickson scored a game-high 25 points to help the Pecatonica boys basketball team roll to a 68-46 win over Mineral Point on Saturday.
With his performance, Hendrickson broke the school record for most points in a career, which was held by Kip Jackson (1,628 points). Jackson graduated in 1995. Hendrickson now has 1,640 career points.
Pecatonica (3-1) made 22 of 26 from the free-throw line in the second half.
"I think we learned from that Cuba City game," Pecatonica coach Matt Fink said of the Vikings' 61-59 loss to the Cubans Nov. 28. "We got back to the basics, we attacked the basket and got to the free-throw line. We came out and beat a really good Mineral Point team. Hopefully, this will lead to more success down the road."
Pecatonica senior Kole Kent scored 15 points, and sophomore Colten Schraepfer added 11 points.
