The Hawks ran their win streak to seven tonight at the Varsity Gym, crusing over the Danbury Lakers 68-39. It was the same story from the last few games, as MV jumped out early on the strength of pressure defense and outside shooting, then wore down the visitors throughout the remainder of the game. The Blue and White are now 9-1 (4-1 TAAC) at the half way point of the season.
Julius Turner led Maumee Valley in scoring for the third game in a row, pocketing 19 this evening. Julius has scored 62 points in his last three games. Rick Deichert had 15, exploiting the zone early and often with a 3 for 3 start from beyond the arc. Jared Sturt had 10 this evening, as Danbury would not come out of their tightly packed 2-3 zone.
The Hawks also got contributions this evening from Dave Brown and Dixon Stoddard (7 each), Caleb Willhight (6) and Jonathan Krueger (4).
Things get a little tougher for Maumee Valley next Tuesday as they travel to Oregon to face the Cardinal Stritch Cardinals.
