The Hamilton Heroes opened the inaugural Midwest Basketball League season with a 128-112 victory over the Indiana Dream. The Heroes were led in scoring by Charon Hill who came off the bench to score a team-high 28 points. Hill took advantage of his matchups be either posting smaller defenders or taking bigger ones to the perimeter.

The Heroes used a solid early defensive effort which led to many points in transition. Hamilton also got a nice floor game from point guard Dwight Johnson, who was a catalyst for the defensive stops and ran a smooth offense for the home team.

Bryan Tingle tossed in 23 points, Jonathan Bibbs added 19, and Isaac Cole contributed 16 for the Heroes (1-0). Hamilton looks to protect home court again on April 23 when they host the Dayton AirStrikers at 2 PM.
