WILLIAMSBURG
After losing its first game of the season last week at Alburnett, Mid-Prairie’s boys basketball team scored a bounce-back win Monday at Williamsburg.
Bryce Miller scored 23 points, topping 20 points for the ninth consecutive game, and the Golden Hawks drilled Williamsburg, 80-65.
“Losing makes you reflect,” Golden Hawks head coach Daren Lambert said. “You look in the mirror and say, ‘We got to be better.’”
The Golden Hawks were all of that Monday, nearly doubling the Raiders in scoring in the second quarter to take control.
A 3-pointer by guard Ace Peck with 9 seconds left in the first quarter finished off a 12-4 run that put the Golden Hawks in front, 20-13. A 10-point run in the second quarter led to a 45-24 lead.
Hudson Ehrenfelt, a junior forward, added a career-high 15 points to complement an inside-outside Mid-Prairie offensive attack, along with a zone defense that throttled Williamsburg’s attack.
“Really proud of the guys for responding on the fly,” Lambert said.
Peck added 14 points.
The Golden Hawks play at Tipton on Friday night.
Alburnett 55,
Mid-Prairie 44
Alburnett’s Matthew Neighbor scored a double-double, 19 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Pirates to a 55-44 win over Mid-Prairie last Thursday.
The loss broke Mid-Prairie’s eight-game winning streak.
The Golden Hawks led by three points, 23-20, at halftime, but Alburnett (8-2) outscored Mid-Prairie 35-21 in the third and fourth quarters for the win.
Bryce Henry scored a game-high 24 points and had a team-high 8 rebounds for the Golden Hawks. No other Golden Hawk reached double figures in scoring as they shot 32.7 percent in their lowest-scoring game of the season.
Ace Peck, a senior, added 9 points.
Henry had a team-high 4 steals.
