Jacobson: Controversy draws sellout crowd to H-BR

Hinckley-Big Rock coach Bill Sambrookes never had seen anything like it.

More than 30 minutes before game time, H-BR’s gym was packed, every seat filled with fans waiting to see Mooseheart vs. H-BR. This didn’t happen for regional or sectional finals, let alone a nonconference game in early December.

“I don’t remember having to turn people away,” Sambrookes said. “I knew we were going to have a big crowd, I don’t know that we were expecting to have to turn people away.”
