Boys basketball scores

Hillsdale 51, Dundee 42

The Hillsdale Hornets have seemingly recovered offensively and defensively after two straight home wins over league rivals. At 3-3, the Hornets have every opportunity to take advantage of the Pat Paterson tournament to gain momentum ahead of January. Hillsdale beat the Vikings behind a 17-point night from Ben Champion, which included five first-half 3s. Brookes Beckman and Thayden Welch added 13 and 10 points, respectively.

Waldron 63, Litchfield 39

The Spartans won in convincing fashion against the (then) only unbeaten boys basketball team left in Hillsdale County. Waldron Stands at 4-1 overall after defeating the Terriers. Litchfield (5-1) will not make another appearance on the court until the New Year.

Jonesville 80, Addison 18

When we last checked in with the Comets, they lost to Manchester 36-28. A home loss to a surging Michigan Center team 46-24 left things uncertain for Jonesville heading into the Holidays.

Ian Doyle collected 14, and Cameron Moore had eight points. Jonesville stands at 4-2 overall.
