SOUTH WAYNE - Potosi's Maddie Hawes scored a game-high 17 points and the Chieftains used a zone to slow down the Black Hawk High School girls basketball team en route to a 49-44 win on Monday.
"Teams are just packing it in against us to slow down Aleigha (Sigafus)," Black Hawk coach Mike Flanagan said.
Black Hawk (11-7, 7-1 Six Rivers East) made eight
3-pointers as a team. In their past three games, the Warriors are averaging 7.3 made
3-pointers.
"I have never had a group that has hit this many 3-pointers," Flanagan said. "In the second half, they (3-pointers) kept us in the game."
Black Hawk sophomore Hannah Herbst scored a team-high 12 points and hit three 3-pointers. Sigafus added 10 points, and junior Sam Lovelace chipped in seven points. The Warriors got their eight 3-pointers from six players. Black Hawk's Brianna Hagen, Melissa Flanagan, senior Brooke Moore, Lovelace and senior Tatum Jackson each hit a 3-pointer.
Black Hawk led by three points at the half. The Chieftains outscored the Warriors 32-24 in the second half. The Warriors made five 3-pointers in the second half and were 9 of 16 at the free-throw line in the second half. Black Hawk shot 60 percent for the game from the line (12 of 20).
"Tonight it came down to the little things - making free throws and getting rebounds," Flanagan said. "When you reflect back to the fact that we lost by five points those are the points we needed to win."
