<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-1 Class A Hamlin Chargers went on the road to take on the 8-1 Class B De Smet Bulldogs in a contest of talented teams and coaches. Hamlin came in hot winners of 6 straight and with stars like [player_tooltip player_id='1545637' first='Jackson' last='Wadsworth'] [player_tooltip player_id='2059565' first='Boden' last='Stevenson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2710052' first='Jack' last='Stormo'] its easy to see why. De smet had also been playing very well winner's of 7 outta 8 coming into the game and with big man [player_tooltip player_id='2286030' first='Grant' last='Wilkinson'] they will almost always have the advantage inside. Prephoops will recap some of the game action then get into some player notes from this contest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first quarter of this game it almost seemed like no one could miss from either team as they both came out on fire. Both teams played at an extremely fast pace. Hamlin nocked down 7 threes in the opening quarter all from [player_tooltip player_id='1545637' first='Jackson' last='Wadsworth'] [player_tooltip player_id='2059565' first='Boden' last='Stevenson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2710052' first='Jack' last='Stormo']. Big man [player_tooltip player_id='2286030' first='Grant' last='Wilkinson'] couldn't be stopped inside in the first quarter as he had 14 points. Second quarter was much of the same for Hamlin as they had there biggest points quarter total of the game. De Smet shot well but wasn't able to get enough shots off vs the half court trapping defense Hamlin put on them which also did a good job of slowing down the bulldogs big man. Hamlin was up 19 at halftime </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Third quarter brought out the best of Hamlin defense as they held De Smet to only 11 points. More half court trapping and a defensive intensity not often seen put this game outta reach. Hamlin's offense was still firing on al cylinders also as they put up another 18 points. Fourth quarter hamlin was on cruise control even though the bulldogs showed alot of heart and played hard until the end. Pressure and turnovers were the name of the game and the deciding factor in my opinion. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quarter Scores</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph
