Hoxie’s top three high scorers were Quenton Rucker with 140 points, Tabor Rucker with 70 points and Jacob Munk with 40 points.
“The young team did a great job with over half of them being only freshmen students. Quenton Rucker, the only senior, will be missed next year but the freshman will continue to improve to be strong competitors for next year,” said Coach Jackie Campbell.
