HB South Chargers down tall Tustin

Putting forth their best effort of the 2002-03 season, the HB

South Chargers overcame Tustin’s height advantage Sunday to post a

51-47 victory in a National Junior Basketball boys’ sixth-grade

All-Net Division contest.

The back-and-forth contest tilted in HB South’s favor when Austin

Prather knocked down a three-point basket with two minutes remaining

to put the Chargers up by three.

From there, the clutch free-throw shooting of Connor Hughes and

Sean Guite sealed the victory.

Prather finished the game with 13 points to lead HB South, Hughes

had 10 points, and Cole Farmer had his usual big game with nine

points while leading the team in the rebounding department.

Scott Marcin came up with several key blocks down the stretch, and

Doug Hansen, Terry Zant and Sal Lacavera each hit key baskets for the

Chargers.
