Girls Escape Poland With Five-Point Win

Mon, Jan 31, 2011

The Lady Emerald Knights built up a big lead only to fend of a fourth quarter scare to preserve a 51-46 at Poland tonight.

"We had open looks," said Coach Jessica Pool, "But, we could not buy a basket in the fourth quarter."

She said her girls missed several layups and shots in the paint they normally would make in the fourth quarter, which saw HCS score just two points to Poland's 17.

Fortunately, HCS had a considerable lead. They burst to a 36-18 lead at the half. Poole said her squad was up by more than 20 in the third period before the cold front moved in.

"I'm just grateful we built up the lead we did earlier," said Poole, whose team is now 5-1 in the league (this was a league win tonight) and 10-2 overall.

Building that lead were:

  • Jordan Peterson with 18 and eight rebounds;
  • Katie Weeks with 17;
  • Lauren Weeks with eight, all in the second quarter;
  • Sara Whyatt with six;
  • and Hayleigh Hanson with two.

Poole added that Poland's two forwards had strong games underneath tonight.

Hamilton is home Thursday for a varsity only outing with Rome Catholic.
