Windermere Prep big man Elijah Hulsewe had to sit out much of the first half after picking up two early fouls and a third less than two minutes into the second quarter against Lake Highland Prep on Tuesday night.
But the 7-foot, 252-pound senior more than made his presence felt in the second half as the Lakers broke a halftime tie and rolled to a 63-53 basketball win in a matchup of Sentinel Super 16 teams.
Hulsewe delivered all 10 of his points 11 of his game-high 15 rebounds after the break as the No. 6 Lakers (3-0) bottled up the host Highlanders (3-1) in the third quarter and pulled away.
