JEWELL — The South Hamilton girls ended an eight-game losing streak with a 57-21 victory over Greene County on Tuesday night.
“I was really happy for the girls to finish off the regular season with a convincing win on our home court,” said South Hamilton head coach Mark Henderson. “We had been on a losing streak, including some close games that didn’t go our way, so it was great to get one back in the win column.”
The Hawks (6-15 overall) had two players reach double figures and did a strong job on the boards.
South Hamilton out-rebounded Greene County 59-17.
“Our kids continued to play hard and that really showed up with how we rebounded in this one,” Henderson said. “We did a phenomenal job on the offensive glass and that gave us a lot of extra chances to score.
“In all we scored 27 second chance points and had a season high 77 shot attempts. Claire led the way for us with 10 offensive rebounds.”
Tessa Skartvedt had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
“Tessa had a big game for us, finishing with a double-double,” Henderson said. “She shot the ball with confidence and was active on the boards. Greene County really didn’t have anyone who could match up with her.”
Isabel Swenson had 10 points. She also had five rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Claire Hewitt had 12 rebounds. Kaylen Trask had eight points and six rebounds.
Makenna Ebersole had a strong game for Greene County with 17 points. She also had nine blocks, five rebounds and three steals.
South Hamilton will open postseason play on Saturday at Dike-New Hartford (7-14). Tip is set for 7 p.m.
“We will try to take the momentum from this win and use it to give us some confidence going into the postseason,” Henderson said. “We’re looking forward to our matchup with Dike-New Hartford, a program that has done a lot of winning over the past few years.”
