The Hancock Lady Owls hosted the B-B-E Jaguars tonight in non-conference action for their final game of the regular season, also Parents' Night.
They did not let down the large home crowd, as they built on a 20-16 halftime lead to run away with the game in a nice double-digit win. It made it two years in a row that they have defeated B-B-E in regular season play. B-B-E's last win over the Owls was in the 2004 Section 5A-South quarterfinals, when the Jaguars won 62-48 and the Owls finished 7-17. The Owls have steadily improved every season since then, going 11-13 the following year and 16-9 in the 2005-2006 season.
The Lady Owls will now enter Section 5A playoffs with a 20-3 overall record as the number-one seed in the south bracket. They went 17-1 against Class A competition and 3-2 against Class AA teams this season.
Their playoff opener is Thursday, March 1, at Morris Area in their new gymnasium, where they will play either St.John's Prep or Wheaton-Herman-Norcross. Tip-off is 6:00.
