BROADLANDS — Uni lost for only the second time this season as Salt Fork defeated the Illineks 71-64 Friday morning in the Hayden's Classic holiday tourney at Heritage High School.

Salt Fork (a co-op team from Jamaica and Catlin high schools) took control of the game with a 26-point second quarter and held on for the win.

Senior Mike Renner led Uni with 19 points, including a 3-pointer. Joining him in double figures were seniors Frankie McFarland (15), Isaac Radnitzer (14), and Chumar Williams (10).

The Storm finished the first two days of the tournament with a 4-0 record to win the Heritage side of the bracket. In the victory over Uni, Salt Fork's Bryn Eakle scored a game-high 26 points, with 16 coming after halftime.

The Illineks came back strong in their second game of the day, beating Atwood-Hammond 59-42. Uni trailed at halftime 27-25. But the Illineks outscored the Rajahs 18-8 in the third quarter and 16-7 in the final period to pull away for a 17-point win. Renner's 26 points (including 3 treys) led all scorers.
