The Henning boys’ basketball team hosted Browerville-Eagle Valley in their season opener on Thursday night.  The Hornets led 32-30 at the half and outscored the Tigers 45-41 over the final 18 minutes for a 77-71 victory.

Tyson Misegades (28 points, 4 rebounds), Mason Hammer (24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals) and Kale Misegades (16 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds) led the way for Henning.  The Hornets shot 39% (26-66) from the floor and made 28% (8-28) of their 3’s.  They also hit 17-of-23 (73%) free throws.  Henning had only 3 turnovers on the night.

“We are excited and fortunate to come away with a victory tonight against one of the best teams in Section 5A,” commented Henning Head Coach Randy Misegades.  “Browerville-Eagle Valley came in and gave us everything we could handle.  Offensively, they were ridiculous, making 15 three’s and shooting 60% from the field.  Our guys made enough plays on the offensive end to stem the tide and we did a great job taking care of the ball.  But, we have plenty to improve on defensively.  We are looking forward to our trip to Target Center Saturday to take on Staples-Motley.”

Miguel Maloney (22 points, 9 rebounds), Hans Puck (15 points), Parker Duncan (11 points, 3 rebounds) and Kayden Tabatt (10 points) were the leaders for Browerville-Eagle Valley.  Dominic DeCock added 8 rebounds.  The Tigers shot 60% (25-41) overall and 65% (15-23) from behind the arc.
