The Hornets playing its final game prior to Exam Week (No Practice or Game ) continued its winning ways with its fifth consecutive win since its return from the National Kreul Showcase in Florida.
This was a Key League game that has moved the Hornets into a Second Place Tie with Green Farms Academy with a record of 4-2 and behind Undefeated St Luke’s at 5-0.
In the first half, the game was close until the final two minutes of play when the Hornets extended their 4 point lead with baskets by Dan Draffan and TJ Rountree plus a long three by young Avery Brown to give the Hornets a 40 to 29 half time lead.
In the second half Hamden Hall didn’t let up with TJ Rountree (13), Baker (9) and Rice(5) taking on much of the offensive load.
Masters had trouble with the Full Court Hornet pressure and turned the ball over several times that led to baskets for the Hamden Hall. This is the same Masters Team that beat Green Farms 69 to 65 only a week ago.
The Master’s Sophomore 6’9 Center who made an impact against the Dragons from Westport Ct. was defended well by Senior Draffan who limited the talented Sophomore to 2 baskets in the second half.
TJ Rountree continues his assault to break the school record for three’s in a season (68) with 5 in the win against Masters.
