Battle Lake struggled in the second half against Hancock on Friday night as the Owls defeated the Battlers 69-52 in a high school boys’ basketball contest.  The Battlers led 22-20 at the half.

“We gave up and did our own thing on defense in the second half,” commented Battle Lake Head Coach C.J. Peeters.  “We gave up 49 points and turned it over 14 times all in the second half.  A rough night for us.  Hancock played their game and executed in the second half.”

Matt Thompson led the Owls with 23 points.  Kody Berget hit four 3’s on the way to a 16 point performance.

Battle Lake was led by Riley Leabo with 25 points.  Drew Jonson and Brennan Amundson had 10 points apiece.
