Girls Hoops Fall Twice at the Buzzer; Cruise Past King

With three of their best players out with concussions and a bad ankle sprain, the Hornets twice tasted defeat at the end of the game this weekend. On Friday, the Hornets hosted Convent of the Sacred Heart from Greenwich. As the tense and exciting contest wound down, the Hornets saw a last second buzzer beater go in for the Tigers to come up short 46-44 in a FAA league game. On Saturday, the girls traveled to West Hartford only to fall to Watkinson 54-51 in the last minute. Despite the setbacks, the team is playing hard and giving a great effort, which paid off on Tuesday when they defeated the Vikings of King School from Stamford 59-23.
Jenna Berens and Asha Parker continue to lead the scoring, averagin 11 points per game, while also providing strong post play. Kai Clemons averages nearly 11 per game herself, while she remains a tireless defender. Shannon Rhone is the gritty floor general, and seventh grade sensation, Jada Johnson, continues to impress, averaging 9 points per game. Hopefully the team will get back to full strength in time for next weekend's home contests vs. St. Andrews and Cheshire Academy.
