Harcum’s Second Half Surge Dooms John A. Logan
Hutchinson, KS – #5 Seed Chipola took advantage of some cold shooting by #12 Hutchinson CC, especially in the second half, ending the Blue Dragons season. Taking a 42-33 margin into the break, the Indians out pointed Hutch 43-29 in the final twenty minutes to gain the 85-62 final score.
