Before exams, the Girls Basketball team suffered two close defeats as the clock ticked down. On Wednesday, in a wonderful reversal of fortune, the Hornets enjoyed a sweet away victory, defeating Greenwich Academy 40-39, when seventh grade standout, Jada Johnson went to the foul line and converted a free throw with 1/10th of a second left on the clock. The clutch shooting capped off a dogged performance, in which the Hornets trailed throughout the game, battling foul trouble. The Hornets, also limited by a number of injuries, got great contributions from the bench to mount a consistent defensive effort, as Coach Borelli employed a myriad of defensive sets to frustrate the host Gators. The Hornets got 12 points from junior Jenna Berens and a monster rebounding game from Asha Parker. The Hornets hit the road again Friday to play at Holy Child in New York, before hosting Hopkins next Monday.
