The Hillsboro High School boys’ basketball team wrapped-up 2008 in convincing fashion Friday night in Sterling, downing the Black Bears, 58-43.

The victory moves Hillsboro a game over .500 at 3-2 on the year.

The Trojans jumped out to a 10-0 lead to start the first quarter, setting the tempo to grab a 13-3 edge after the first quarter.

Hillsboro got production from its bench with a trio of players finishing in double figures.

David Loewen scored a game-high 18 points, Daniel Jost added 16, and Clay Shewey, 12.

The trio helped the Trojans take a 24-11 lead at halftime and Sterling never threatened.

The Trojans open next year traveling to Hoisington Jan. 6.
