Hornets Get Revenge with 72-53 Win

1/17/2017

Hamden Hall traveled to the North Corner of the State to play Hyde of Connecticut and gain its fourth consecutive victory.

The Wolfpack had beaten the Hornets last season and were looking to repay the favor, but this is a different team and one that has the offense to offset the Hyde Home Court advantage.

The Hornets jumped out quickly and led 12 to 4 after a few minutes of play.

Hamden Hall applied full court pressure that created several turnovers that led to baskets and with 6’7 Co-Captain Dan Draffan and 6’3 Andrew Rice controlling the backboards Hamden Hall increased their lead to a 39 to 24 half time score.

6’2 Senior Co-Captain TJ Rountree and 6’7 Junior Vin Baker Jr. both scored 10 points each in the first half of play.

The second half the Hornets, rotating their entire bench, kept the pressure on as they executed and continued to keep the Wolfpack off balance for its ninth victory of the season.

TJ Rountree and Dan Draffan had a “double/double” with 16 pts. 10 assists and 10 points and 11 rebounds respectfully. Vin Baker Jr. dropped 14 pts. and had 3 block shots. Andrew Rice was just shy of a double/double with 9 pts and 12 rebounds.

Since participating in the National Showcase in Ft. Lauderdale Florida the Hornets have won four straight games and continue to make progress as they head toward League play.
