Blue Hill boys hold on against Sandy Creek in subdistrict tourney

Eric Steitz sports@hastingstribune.com Class C-2 No. 6 Blue Hill had three players score in double-digits and hit 13 fourth-quarter free throws to hold on to beat Sandy Creek 55-48 Tuesday in the semifinals of the Class C-2, Subdistrict 9 tournament at St. Cecilia’s Chapman Gymnasium. Trailing by 15 points at the end of the third quarter, Sandy Creek started the fourth quarter with a 7-2 run and eventually cut the gap to two points with a minute-and-a-half to go after a deep 3-pointer by Chase Murman. “For the first three quarters we did a good job of containing them shooting 3-pointers,” Blue Hill coach Jon Coffey said. “In the fourth quarter, our legs got tired on us and they started making some 3s.”
