Seven straight points from Hayden senior Andrew Kleckler made all the difference for the Tigers on Friday night.
His first basket tied the game at 13 against North Park and the remainder helped Hayden develop an advantage that turned into a 55-35 win.
“He’s got a hurt foot, he’s not 100% right now,” head coach Mike Luppes said of Kleckler. “Andrew had a great game. We moved the ball much better offensively than we have before. So hopefully that’ll continue.”
