“After a bit of a sluggish start, we made a nice run before the half,” said Henning Head Coach Randy Misegades. “WDC should get a lot of credit; they wouldn’t go away. Even though we were a little short-handed playing without Calvin Stueve, our guys stuck with it and found a way.” 

Mason Hammer had a big night for the Hornets, scoring 24 points on 11-of-17 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds to complete his double-double.  Lane Dilly provided a spark off the bench, scoring 9 points and securing a team high 12 rebounds.  Tanner Arndt made 5-of-7 field goal attempts, scoring 18 points, while adding 5 assists and 6 rebounds.  Tyson Misegades was also in double digits with 12 points.  He also led the team with 6 assists and 5 steals.

Henning shot 50% (29-58) from the floor and made 9-of-12 free throws.  Henning had just one turnover at halftime but finished with ten for the game.  The Hornets only committed six fouls.

Wadena-Deer Creek was led by 14 points from Teshe Loer.  Payton Rondestvedt and Peyton Church each scored 11.
