A critical second half run was more than enough for Aurora’s boys basketball team Friday night. 

Aurora and Norris went tic for tac for much of their midweek top 10 matchup last week in what turned out to be a thrilling December tilt. 

The Lady Huskies showed flashes on opening night of what could be during the 2020-21 season. However, those flashes didn’t come frequently enough. 

A much-needed long weekend was highlighted by former Huskies doing their thing in front of limited crowds, but large television audiences. 

As the final seconds ticked away in one of the toughest situations for any athlete, Ethan Shaw never put his head down in defeat. 

Thank you, Aurora Huskies!

One day, she may follow in the footsteps of her dad and other coaching mentors along the way as coach Hudson. But for now, it’s still Kassidy Hudson, southpaw outside hitter. 

Success has followed Cassidy Knust through every avenue she’s traveled athletically at Aurora. 

With the game and its season on the line, Aurora’s defensive lineup answered the call.
