A third quarter scoring drought all but doomed Hampton’s CRC hopes Saturday night. 
The Hawks were held to just two third quarter points as East Butler ran away with a 57-33 win over Hampton in the 7-10 first round CRC matchup from the iconic York City Auditorium. 
The early portion of the game looked to be a big positive for Hampton as Grant Ferguson immediately hit a three-pointer as well as a second jumper after a shot in the paint from Kash Majerus, giving the Hawks a 7-6 lead at the 3:03 mark of the opening quarter.
