COLBY, Kan. — Hutch High missed just one shot from the line in the 4th quarter en route to 14 freebies in an 8-point victory Friday night.

The Salthawks (3-7) doubled up the Eagles (5-8) of Pine Creek (Colorado Springs, Colorado) after one stanza in the consolation bracket of the Orange & Black Classic.

Hutch High jumped out to a 16-8 advantage and saw Pine Creek close that gap to 5 by halftime.

That lead dwindled to just 1 at 39-38 after three.

The Salthawks then used strong free throw shooting to distance themselves from the competition. HHS knocked down 14-of-15 free throws in the 4th quarter; 14 of the team’s 21 fourth-quarter points came from the charity stripe. HHS finished 25-of-33 from the line.

Senior Davion Vigil hit 6 straight FTs in that stretch while his classmate, Tre’Vaughn Jones, went 5-for-6. Jones finished with 10 points.

Sophomore Elisha Turner also finished with 10 points, while Senior Max Ontjes hit two treys in the 4th to finish with 9 points.

Hutch High is now 1-1 in the Orange & Black Classic and will face Scott City (4-6) Saturday at 2 p.m. in the 5th Place Match.

Scott City defeated Lotus School for Excellence 52-33 in a shortened contest. The game was called with 5:24 left in the 4th when Lotus HC Dee Jackson sent his team to the locker room in protest of an offensive foul.

The Beavers and Salthawks will face each other Saturday afternoon with Glen Grunwald calling the action from Colby on Country 102.9.
