The Huntingdon men’s basketball team turned in its best scoring performance of the season, but fell to Rust College 88-86 on Saturday.

The Hawks (5-12) took the lead late in the first half and held it until the final seven minutes of the game. Huntingdon fell behind by six points in the final minutes, but almost rallied for the win.

A Jeremiah Thomas basket made it an 88-85 game before Austin Hill sank a free throw to make it 88-86. Hill intentionally missed the second free throw to try and set up a Huntingdon putback, but the Hawks couldn’t get the final shot to fall at the buzzer.

“We didn’t get the win, but I think that is the best we have played all year,” Huntingdon head coach Mike Pugh said. “We led for much of the game and we had our chances to win.

Thomas' 28 points power the Hawks past William Peace

Jeremiah Thomas turned in a career-high scoring performance to help the Huntingdon men’s basketball team down William Peace 82-68 on Wednesday.

Thomas finished with 28 points and nine rebounds to earn All-Tournament honors in the Morris Cregger Invitational at Roanoke College. Thomas was 8-for-11 from the field and 12-for-16 from the free-throw line.
The win capped a stretch of four games in five days for Huntingdon (4-9).

“We played hard and picked up a good win,” Huntingdon head coach Mike Pugh said. “This has been a tough trip. We’ve played four good teams in five days and battled injuries and illness, but I’m proud of the way our guys responded. A lot was asked of our guys, but we kept battling.

“Jeremiah played a big game today. He’s been sick the past few days but he’s played through it. Ryan Petty had a good game today and made some key plays for us and Austin Hill played really well.
