The Tomahawk boys basketball team were winless in conference and the Hodags were hoping to keep it that way as the Hatchets came to Rhinelander Tuesday evening for a conference matchup.

The beginning of the game was very competitive with the Hodags holding a slim lead until just before the end of the first half. That’s when the Hodags went on a little run and held a 9-point half time lead.

The second half was a different story as the Hodags turned up the defensive pressure, had steals for easy baskets, made some 3-point shots and went on a couple big scoring runs to outscore the Hatchets 45-19 and get the 79-42 win.

Devyn Orth goes to the basket for a layup and is fouled. Later in the second half Orth went to the free throw line for two shots and made them both at the 4:50 mark. At that point the Hodags held a 40 point advantage thereby sending the game to run time.
