Fisher has 18 in Knights Loss @ W'Moreland

The Emerald Knights had a win in their sights for 3/4 of their game at Westmoreland tonight.

Then, the Eagles' Jason Colburn scored 15 of his 20 points and HCS came out on the short end of the 60-46 final.

"It was a great, great effort," said Knights' Coach Dave Rhyde. "But, we came up short."

Hamilton trailed 14-10 at the end of the first period and tied it at 22 at the half. The Knights were on Westmoreland's heels in the third period, trailing just 40-37, before the 6'5" Colburn went into high gear.

The Knights' Cam Fisher (in photo) had one of his best games of the year against Westmoreland. He hit four of the seven three-pointers he took and ended the game with 18 points and nine rebounds.

Lucas Rhyde had six points, eight rebounds and three steals for HCS. Other Hamilton scorers:

  • Allen Schult, three;
  • John Andrzejek, eight;
  • Sam Owens, two;
  • Phil Douchinsky, six;
  • and Tom Hilgenberg, three.

Rhyde also praised Douchinsky and Hilgenberg for keeping Westmoreland's big men tied up, allowing teammates to get rebounds.

Hamilton is at home Thursday against Canastota.

The HCS junior varsity picked up an impressive win tonight, beating Westmoreland 46-41 in overtime.
