Seniors Boost HCS Over Rome Catholic

Playing for the last time in front of their hometown fans, the seniors of the HCS boys basketball team rose to the occasion and lifted the Emerald Knights to an impressive 53-41 win over the Rome Catholic Red Wings Tuesday.

"It was a great effort by all of our seniors," said Coach David Rhyde.

Senior Keith Upton led the way with 24 points.

Senior Ken Quackenbush had nine points and three steals.

Senior Dan Meeks had six points, five assists and three steals.

"Meeksy played outstanding defense for us tonight," said Rhyde. "If the ball went into the post, he was there and on it."

Hamilton's fourth senior is Mike Jones.

The rest of the HCS scoring came from Coley Graham with eight, Tom Hilgenberg with four (and six rebounds) and Lucas Rhyde and Greg Elliott each had one.

The win makes the Knights' overall record 3-14 and 1-8 in league play.

Hamilton wraps up its season Thursday with a long trip north to face West Canada Valley.

Hamilton's JV hammered Rome Catholic 65-40 Tuesday.
