JV Huskies secured their 3rd win of their season by a final score of 56 to 43 over the Ithaca Yellow Jackets. It was a slow start for the Huskies, but after some schematic adjustments and a ramped up intensity, became their best performance yet. Hemlock’s defense played with an edge, causing many deflections and turnovers, that led to transition buckets. Cooper Gensch and Bentley Baumer were flying around all night and making all kinds of plays from the defensive end. Baumer led the Huskies with 14 points, scoring from all levels of the court, with Markus Plowden close behind with 13 of his own. Cooper Gensch added 9 and Tristyn Church 6, while Roman Smith made a big time 3 pointer in a pivotal close to the first half.

JV Huskies kicked off Winter Break on a high note, defeating the Garber Dukes by a final score of 41 to 35.

After a back and forth first half, the score was 17-17 at halftime. In the second half, the Huskies showed great poise, handling pressure, and making free throws down the stretch, which decided the game.

JV Huskies were defeated in a wire to wire game by the Alma Panthers, with a final score 41-34. This was a tough one for the Huskies, who led the majority of the game, playing great defense and capitalizing on Alma’s mistakes. In the second half, Hemlock continued their strong efforts, winning the turnover battle, but foul trouble caught up with the Huskies, along with some missed free throws in the fourth.

Alma jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.  Hemlock struggled to put enough points on the board to upset a good team like Alma.  Hopefully the Huskies will benefit from playing tough non-conference games like this one.

JV Huskies defeated the Bullock Creek Lancers by a final score of 56 to 33, to give the boys win number 5 on the season. In the most complete game of the year, Hemlock dominated from the opening tip, opening up a 15-2 lead to begin the game and didn’t look back from there. The Huskies played smothering defense, turning the Lancers over more than 20 times, leading to many transition buckets. Hemlock also played their best offensive game, shooting the ball well from the outside, getting to the free throw line, and rebounding the ball well on the offensive end. It was a complete team win with meaningful contributions from each player. Cooper Gensch led all scorers with 13 points, Bentley Baumer added 10 of his own, and Markus Plowden scored 9, clearing 10 rebounds as well. Jacob Casey and Jayden Polom each added 5 big points of their own, knocking down nice 3 point jump shots.  The boys will look to keep the momentum heading into Thursday night's game against the Nouvel Panthers!

Ethan Long made a FT with about 3:30 left in the game that gave Hemlock it's first lead of the night.  Bullock Creek then scored the next 5 to put them back up 4.  Hemlock managed to cut the margin back to 1 with 6.7 seconds remaining on a Gavin Schmidt 3 pointer.  The comeback fell just short as BC made 1 more FT for the final margin.

Coach Bauer would like to praise the team for their hustle despite the tough loss.

We hope this message finds you well! As we move further into the school year, we want to remind families of the importance of having an up-to-date medication authorization form on file for any student who may need medication during the school day.

This ensures we can safely and promptly assist your student in the event of a medical need.

Please note that medications cannot be given at school without a current medication form on file. This includes carrying or self-administering inhalers, EpiPens, or any other type of emergency medication.

Medication forms are available in the school office or can be downloaded from our district website. If you need assistance completing the form or have any questions about your child’s health plan, please don’t hesitate to contact our school nurse.
