Offensive Explosion as the HHR Win First Preseason Matchup

A 73-46 victory over Team Yeungling in their first preseason game is a great to start off the winter league in the BMRBL. Four out of the five players scored in double figures and three players grabbed 10 or more rebounds. Two of the previously mentioned players locked up their first double-doubles of the year. The team was led by captain Jason Hunter who maintained his strong shooting performance from the fall season. Hunter was three of six from deep and made his first six of seven shots, mostly easy lay-ups set up by dribble drives and movement under the basket. Hunter hit on 7 of 12 shots from inside the arc and also grabbed six rebounds. Team Yeungling closed the gap to 8 points with about 10:22 in the second half, but the Human Highlight Reels never looked back after a timeout. Brandon Hunter and Andy Kempf recorded their first double-doubles of the winter season. Hunter went for 18 and 14 (three-three pointers, field goals, and free throws), Kempf went big on the glass totaling a year high 23 rebounds and made six of the 10 shots he took from the field. Kyle Komer was the other Reel to score in double figures as he totaled 12 points on the night. Komer was instrumental in a lot of easy baskets for the good guys on offense and pestered Team Yeungling on the defensive side of the ball. Big man Justin Woo missed a double-double and a double figure scoring night by just one bucket of any kind. Woo grabbed 10 boards and scored nine points on four of 12 shooting from the field. The next preseason game has yet to be scheduled as of this writing. The HHR will look to continue their winning ways next week in the second and final preseason game.
