Peterson & Weeks Are All-Staters

Two HCS players have been named to the NYS Sportswriters Association's all-state girls basketball teams.

Jordan Peterson was named to the first team and Katie Weeks was named to the fourth team.

"I'm extremely happy for both players for receiving recognition in being named to the All-State team," said HCS Coach Jessica Poole.  "Both players worked very hard throughout the season and were key factors to our team's second straight sectional championship."

Peterson has been part of HCS girls basketball since she was in eighth grade. She will be going to Ithaca College in the fall, her coach's alma mater.

"In the last five seasons, Jordan has made her mark on the Hamilton basketball program," said Poole. "She had developed into an extremely versatile player and a great leader.  

"Jordan led our team in points (410), rebounds (197) and blocked shots (41) this season. Jordan ends her career as the third leading scorer in HCS girls basketball history, with 1,304 career points. She will be greatly missed and I wish her the best of luck at I.C."

Liz Unger is HCS' all-time leading scorer with 1,812 points and Katie Murphy-1,434 points.

Pool said, "Katie Weeks emerged as our general on the floor. She helped control the tempo of our games and led our team in assists (125), foul shooting percentage (75%), and three-point baskets made (51 3-pointers made).  

"Katie has a great basketball mind and was clutch for us in pressure situations this season.  The team is fortunate to have Katie back next season.  We look forward to working hard this off-season and continuing our success next season."
