Appleton North 78, Brookfield Central 63

MEQUON – The Lightning (5-2) rattled off a 15-5 run to start the second half to pull away in its victory over the Lancers in the Rick Majerus WBY Shootout at Concordia University.

North led 39-31 at the half.

Grant Hardy led the Lightning with 22 points, with Nathan Ramus adding 19. Will Sweeney and Abraham Tomori also chipped in 11 points each.

“We just wanted a little bit more offensively with the pass instead of off the bounce,” Appleton North coach Chris Kellett said. “Our guys are pretty high-level IQ kids and we were getting some backdoors and some curl cuts for some layups. Grant Hardy was our quarterback in the second half facilitating.”

Junior guard Evan Prusko scored 28 points to lead Brookfield Central (4-4).
