SULLY — Eleven Hawks scored at least three points, the Hawks made nearly half of their shots from the floor and Klayton Van Dyke’s double-double powered the Lynnville-Sully boys’ basketball team to a 76-16 win in its postseason opener on Monday.
The Class 1A No. 7 Hawks led 27-3 after one quarter and cruised to the easy 1A District 13 win. L-S turned the ball over just five times and grabbed 14 offensive rebounds.
“We were able to create some turnovers early, which got our offense going,” L-S head boys basketball coach Nick Harthoorn said. “We did a good job taking care of the basketball. Getting 23 assists with only seven turnovers is a great ratio for us.”
