Kajuan Robinson led the Hornets with 14 points. Blaise Smith added 10, Patrick Dickinson 4.
“This was our toughest game of the year so far, playing on the road against a very good Lake Hamilton team,” said Hornets coach Heath Long. “There were some times that we got caught up playing their game a little, which cost us. However, we did a pretty good job of getting the ball inside and we look forward to playing them again at the end of the year.”
