The Hawks won’t need to wait long for revenge to the opponent they lost to in Saturday’s Lincoln Prairie Conference Tournament championship game.

Sixth-seeded Cumberland handed fifth-seeded VG/H a 63-61 overtime loss in the finals at Arcola. The same two schools will play on Tuesday at Heritage.

In Saturday’s game, the Hawks (15-9) used a furious 18-6 fourth-quarter run to force the overtime.

Jake Eversole scored a season-high 26 points for VG/H. Blake Smith hit 12 points and Logan Nohren chipped in with nine points. Issac Mahoe ended with seven points.
