The Hawley Nuggets entered the Granite City Classic this weekend with a rough start to the season at 0-5. But that didn’t prevent them from making a good showing against an undefeated Rockford squad. The Rockets had Hawley down by 14 at the half, but the Nuggets battled back to take the lead and ultimately take the game to overtime. In the end Rockford prevailed 67-65 moving to a solid 6-0 on the young season.
Next up is tomorrow again at St Cloud Tech High School at 2:45pm, this time the opponent is a conference rival in the Holy Family Catholic Fire. Holy Family comes into the GCC sporting 2 losses on the year (to St Louis Park and Minnehaha Academy) but having defeated anyone else in their path.
Should be a great matchup!
