PREP BRIEFS: Hawks basketball, Dylan Steen

HAWKS WIN EXHIBITION: A 23-15 fourth-quarter run and plenty of production from its key returners helped the South Hamilton boys’ basketball team knock off Bishop Garrigan, 62-58, in a Hall of Pride exhibition game Saturday night in Algona.

The Hawks played without senior Cole Berg, a returning starter who is expected to miss several weeks after undergoing a procedure on his knee. Garrigan, meanwhile, brought back its entire roster from last winter’s 19-5 group.

Conner Hill led South Hamilton with 22 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. Logan Peters added 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Cade Balvanz produced 13 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out late.

TJ Schnurr (17 points) and Angelo Winkel (16 points) paced Garrigan.

South Hamilton will officially begin its season at home on Tuesday against South Central Calhoun.
