Prep roundup: Hazelton scores 39 as Glen Lake tops Charlevoix for fourth straight win; Barnowski's 34 leads Lake Leelanau St. Mary past Frankfort
Jan. 4—MAPLE CITY — Glen Lake and Charlevoix were headed in two different directions when they met Tuesday. And each continued in their respective direction.
The Lakers handed the Rayders a 69-53 loss in boys varsity basketball action Tuesday, keeping the good times rolling for Glen Lake and the bad times going for Charlevoix. The win also snapped Glen Lake's three-game losing streak to Charlevoix.
The Lakers built a 42-26 lead at halftime and eventually ballooned their lead to 28, allowing head coach Rob Flaska to get time on the court for all of his players.
Glen Lake came into Tuesday's contest riding a three-game win streak after dropping the season opener to Elk Rapids. Charlevoix, on the other hand, had dropped two in a row after picking up its lone win of the season against Manton two weeks ago.
Luke Hazelton led all scorers with 39 points for the Lakers while also hauling in 11 rebounds and dishing out three assists as the emergency point guard during parts of the game. The Lakers were without their starting point guard, and Flaska moved a sophomore into the starting position Tuesday and used Hazelton when the sophomore sub was on the bench.
Neil Ihme was the Lakers' second-leading scorer with eight points, nine rebounds and three blocks and a slam dunk.
Since their loss, the Lakers (4-1, 1-0 Northwest) have averaged 66.8 points per game in those four victories. The Rayders (1-5), in their five losses this season, are allowing 62 points per game.
"We feel like we let that one go against Elk Rapids, but you've got to hand it to them," Flaska said. "We feel pretty good, but we'd like to shoot the ball better. ... We're going to need to be able to knock shots down as the season moves forward and score inside and out if we want to have the year we want."
Glen Lake travels to Kingsley on Friday for a Northwest Conference matchup with the Stags before hosting Buckley on Jan. 11. Charlevoix's next varsity contest is scheduled for this coming Tuesday at Harbor Springs.
