Hornets end long drought with overtime win at Brewer

Azle’s boys basketball team delivered a long-awaited breakthrough Tuesday night, edging Brewer 52-42 in overtime for its first win against the Bears since the 2011–12 season.

In his 10th year at the helm, head coach James Crafton earned his first victory over Brewer, and he credited defense for the milestone moment.

“Defense was the difference,” Crafton said. “We held their leading scorer to three points.”
