Hillman coach Eric Muszynski said so far this season, the team’s ability to score and defend has led to its hot start and everyone who has earned minutes has contributed in one way or another.

“I thought tonight was another display of our balanced attack. We currently have four players averaging double figures and that’s always been what we strive for in our program,” he said. ” On any given night we have someone stepping up scoring or giving good minutes.”

The loss by Whittemore-Prescott dropped its record down to 3-1 and it will return to action against Au Gres-Sims at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at home.
