Posted

Hillcrest Academy picked up a big SEISC North win on Friday night, beating Pekin 68-54. 

The Ravens never trailed Pekin, starting the game on a 7-0 run and getting out to a 16-7 lead after one quarter. 

A late run for Pekin in the second quarter cut their lead to 34-28 at halftime. Eli Ours had 20 points in the first half and was 10-10 from the free throw line. 

Kobe Borntrager and Noah Miller stepped up in the second half for Hillcrest Academy. Miller had 11 points and went 8-10 from the free-throw line. 

Borntrager hit a 3-pointer to start the half and had success driving to the basket. 

Both teams had some foul trouble with their big men, but Hillcrest Academy got solid minutes from Aaron Hershberger off the bench. He finished with six points for the Ravens. 

Earlier in the night, the Hillcrest Academy girls lost to Pekin 56-12. 

The boys and girls are back in action on Tuesday with a trip to Wapello on the schedule.
