2014-15 Boys Basketball January 27 vs. Unity Christian

Holland Christian hosted its rivals from Unity Christian on Tuesday night at the Civic Center. Sam VanderSluis dropped eight points in the first quarter as the teams settled at a 13-13 tie. The Maroons ran away with the lead in the second quarter and never surrendered it for the remainder of the game. Tyler Hyma highlighted the second quarter with three consecutive highlight reel plays: He swatted a Crusader shot out of bounds, stole the ball and fed Matt Maas a pass that was finished in a one handed slam. Holland Christian led Unity 31-22 at halftime.
Hyma started the second half with a three-pointer that led to a 14-0 run in favor of the Maroons. Hyma, along with Kyle Wassink, finished with six points in the third quarter. The team collectively shot 6/8 from the field and 7/7 from the charity stripe for 20 points in the quarter. Unity put up 18 points in the final quarter but were unable to overcome Holland Christian's season high 65 points.
Sam VanderSluis put up a career high 26 points, 12 of which came from the free-throw line. Wassink put up 14 points as both Wassink and VanderSluis shot 7/8 from the floor.

The Maroons have won six of the past seven games after losing the first three of the season. They will take that momentum to Zeeland West on Friday night for another conference game.
