The Hancock Owls were victorious in their season opener against the defending Sub-Section 3A-North champion Dawson-Boyd Blackjacks, at Dawson tonight.
They were led by senior Jenny Noordmans, who drained four treys and totaled a game-high 24 points for the Owls (1-0). She also added 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. Lindsie Cunningham drained three treys, with fellow sophomore Bree Holleman adding 15 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals.
The Owls opened up a wide 38-22 lead at halftime, while going 24-of-69 in field goals (8-23 three-pt). They cashed 12-of-17 free throws while snaring 45 rebounds.
Also adding to the scoring column were: Chelsea Voorhees 9, Megan Jepma 2, Hannah Newhouse 4, Allissa Koehl 5.
This Friday (Nov 30) the Owls entertain the Ashby Arrows in non-conference action.
The Arrows (1-0) were 79-60 victors at Wheaton tonight against the Wheaton-Herman-Norcross Warriors in the season opener for those two teams. They played the Owls tough during one meeting last season, a 65-60 win for Hancock on the Arrows' home court. The Arrows return three of the top four scorers from that game, including senior center Megan Gullickson, who led her team with 17 points. Gullickson is also the only senior on their roster.
The Arrows also fell 67-49 at the Underwood Holiday Shoot-out in December. Ashby finished 16-8 last season, going 1-1 in the Section 5A playoffs.
Both Hancock and Ashby are members of the new Section 6A, so this game has playoff implications...and it's not even December yet!
