Parker lights it up as Wolverines cruise past Hudson in district semis

DIKE- Hudson gave Dike-New Hartford one of its three losses earlier in the season, and the Wolverines entered Saturday night’s rematch in the Class 2A District 6 semifinals prepared for a tight battle with the Pirates. The third meeting turned into a blowout, however, as D-NH senior guard Carson Parker exploded for 29 points, and the Wolverines cruised to an easy 68-44 win on Saturday night in Dike.
“We told the kids to be ready for a 32 minute game. That’s what we expected,” D-NH head coach Greg Moore said. “Fortunately, we hit some shots, and they got into a little bit of foul trouble.”
The Pirates attempted to take away Parker early, but fellow senior Byron Fritch picked up the slack by scoring his team’s first eight points and guiding the Wolverines to a 10-2 lead. D-NH led by as many as 13 points in the second half before allowing Hudson to cut the halftime deficit to 30-21.
