Eagles will face Union tonight for 3A district title
It was a big night for Derrick Brooks and his Hudson’s Bay teammates.
Brooks sank seven 3-pointers and poured in a game-high 25 points, leading the Eagles past Prairie, 71-68, in a Class 3A district semifinal contest at Hudson’s Bay High School.
The Eagles move on to face Union at 7:30 tonight for the 3A district championship.
Brooks added nine rebounds and five assists, and Bay coach Andy Meyer said the high-scoring Eagle was unstoppable.
“He had a quite a game for us,” Meyer said.
The Eagles started slow, and trailed 39-27 at halftime.
Then Brooks heated up. Bay followed, outscoring the Falcons 23-16 during the fourth quater.
“We just got a little spark of energy there and hit some big shots,” Meyer said.
Ingo Arrozal added 13 points for the Eagles, who connected on 13 3s.
Adam Herman scored a team-high 20 points for Prairie, while Scott Brooks contributed 17.
