The Hamilton Broncs won a conference game against Corvallis and then, on Saturday, won a non conference game against Columbia Falls
The Broncs ran with the ball early against the Blue Devils, and took and early lead but Corvallis battled back in the first quarter to only trail by two points. Carson Rostad was up against Corvallis’ Garrett Brown and although Brown outweighed Rostad, the Hamilton junior was able to get to the backboard and make baskets and grab rebounds. He finished the night with 19 points.
At the half, Corvallis was down by six points which would be the narrowest margin the rest of the game. Every time the Devils would make a run, Hamilton was able to get the stop and convert a shot or two. Even though Corvallis’ Caleb Warnken scored 21 points, Hamilton won, 59-51.
