HILLMAN–Nash Steinke scored 14 points, Isaac Morrison added 11 points and the Hillman boys basketball team pulled away from Atlanta in the second half to beat the Huskies 54-40 on Wednesday at home.

Hillman (5-9, 5-4 North Star League) led 14-11 after one quarter, 24-22 at halftime and 39-28 after three quarters.

“I thought we had a pretty good third quarter. We made some adjustments with our trap and we were more intense,” Hillman coach Eric Muszynski said. “One thing we didn’t have for a whole game against Au Gres was intensity, but (tonight) the guys did a nice job moving the ball and the third quarter was the difference.”
