Senior Jake Eversole made the most of his final high school basketball game.
Eversole scored a season-high 31 points on Friday (March 12) as the Hawks posted a 68-46 non-conference win at Chrisman.
Eversole nailed three three-point shots, matching his best total of the year, which had been reached in three other contests.
Eversole was the lone VG/Heritage player to score in double figures.
Two other seniors, Logan Nohren and Carson Howard, contributed nine and eight points, respectively.
Nohren cleared a game-high 16 rebounds, his best total of the season. He ended with 46 rebounds in his final three games and for the year averaged a double-double with 17.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.
The Hawks built a 22-8 lead after one quarter and outscored the Cardinals in each subsequent period to pull away.
Hitting three-pointers besides Eversole were Devin Ellis and Dylan Ploense.
VG/Heritage completes the season with an 8-5 record. One of the wins was coach Corey White’s 100th career triumph.
Eversole finished second on the team in scoring (15.1 average) and made a team-best 15 three-point shots.
Howard was also a steady scorer for the year, averaging 10.2 points per game. Nick Coffin was second on the team in three-pointers made, with nine.
Nohren led the team in scoring in nine games, Eversole was tops three times and Howard led, or shared the lead, twice.
Nohren and Eversole each eclipsed the 30-point scoring mark once.
