HEBRON – Alden-Hebron trailed by six at halftime but rallied against Union Grove Christian in the second half to earn a 57-52 non-conference boys basketball victory Monday.

“We came out a little flat,” Giants coach Dean Bentley said. “We just weren’t shooting the ball real well.”

Jared Hilton led A-H with 19 points. Matthew Meyer added 17, and Shane Engelbrecht had 14 for the Giants (4-8).

The difference in the game, Bentley said, was Engelbrecht locking down Union Grove’s Jon Egan in the second half. Egan scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half.

“Egan kind of got off in the first half,” Bentley said. “[But Engelbrecht’s] quickness took away some of the things Egan wanted to do.”
