Girls Hoops 7th Seed; Face Oriskany (2) Friday

The Lady Emerald Knights now know what faces them in sectional play: Oriskany, a team they steamrolled just three weeks ago.

Hamilton is the seventh seed in the Section III Class D tournament. Oriskany is seeded second. The two play Friday at Oriskany at 7 p.m. Admission is $3. If HCS wins, they will face the winner of the Copenhagen vs. Rome Catholic game. Copenhagen is ranked 19th in the state.

When Hamilton and Oriskany played on Jan. 23, the Indians did not look as if they were undefeated coming into the game. The Lady Emerald Knights threw up an stifling full court press and Oriskany, playing without its leading scorer, wilted. Hamilton won 57-30.

When the two teams met at Oriskany on Dec. 11, Hamilton lost 33-26.

When the two teams met in sectional play last year, it wass not the most pleasant of affairs. The Oriskany student fans were abusive, and unchecked by school or tournament officials. Their chants toward the HCS players inlcuded, "You are garbage." and others were of a sexual nature.
