The Hayfield boys basketball team beat Blooming Prairie (1-4 overall) 80-49 in BP Tuesday.

Isaac Matti poured in 32 points for the Vikings (6-1 overall) and he has now surpassed 1,000 points in his career, making him Hayfield’s 13th 1,000-point scorer for the boys’ program. Matti has played in 101 career games, and he was a middle schooler in 39 of those games. 

“I told him he needs to get another 1,000 and that’s entirely possible,” Hayfield head coach Chris Pack said.
