Sam Senske scored 17 points and pulled down 9 rebounds to lead the Nuggets. He was joined in double figures by Brevin Stoa with 10 points. Mason Gratton and Noah Nelson contributed 8 points apiece.
“Our kids played as hard as they played all season," said Hawley Head Coach Nathan Stoa. "We couldn’t recover from a five minute scoring drought in the early second half. Micah Thompson is such a tough match-up and we didn’t have an answer for him on the offensive glass tonight. He and Soren Anderson were and are absolute difference makers.”
Perham (13-1, 3-1 HOL) will play at Barnesville on Thursday.
Hawley (6-6, 2-3 HOL) will play at Breckenridge on Tuesday and at Fergus Falls on Thursday.
