The Wauzeka-Steuben Hornets boys basketball team opened up the new year last Thursday night by hosting the Ithaca Bulldogs in a game that was originally scheduled for Dec. 19 but postponed due to weather. 
A close, but low scoring first half saw the Hornets jump out to an early 8-2 lead before the Bulldogs slowly worked their way back into the game to take a 14-13 lead with 3:43 remaining in the first half. Ithaca extended their lead to 20-14 before a pair of buckets from both teams in the final 20 seconds of the half gave the visitors a 22-16 lead at the midway point.
