Saturday night at the Morris Area Elementary gym, the Lady Owls faced the Warriors of Wheaton-Herman-Norcross for the third time this season, and they came out with a big win while leaving no doubt they are the number-one ranked team in the sub-section. A 43-15 halftime lead, built after going nine deep off their bench, silenced any thought of a first-round upset by the 8th-seeded Warriors.
The JV squad received a great deal of playing time in the second half, and for the game the Lady Owls shot 44% from the floor. They were a poor 18-for-37 from the free-throw line, however, and must improve on that if they hope to advance to the championship game by beating Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg (15-10) on Monday night in the sub-semi finals. Tip-off is at 6:00pm at the Minnewaska Area High School. The second game of that night will feature Ortonville and Osakis.
Bree Holleman led Hancock with a 20 point performance and Jenny Noordmans scored 14 points while grabbing eight rebounds. Tara Thielke added 12 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals and 8 assists.
