HHS trumps Waynesboro in basketball double header
January 20, 2017
The JV and varsity boys basketball teams headed down south on Jan. 17 for a double header with Waynesboro. The JV team won their first matchup with the Little Giants 71-31 back in December. Last night’s game played out the same way, with the Streaks starting the game with a 14-0 run and never looking back. The JV team won 66-36, improving to 10-2 on the season.
The varsity team also beat Waynesboro back in December 69-59, but it was a close game. Last night featured much of the same back and forth action and the Streaks went into halftime with a five point lead. In the second half, HHS extended its lead to over twenty at one point, but won the game 59-42. The Blue Streaks improved to 9-6 on the season. The Streaks were led in scoring by Senior Kajuan Madden with twelve points and six assists.
“We did well on offense being patient and looking to score aggressively. Our ball movement was also good,” Madden said.
HHS’ next game is tomorrow at home against the second ranked team in the district, R.E. Lee. The Streaks dropped the first matchup by 10 points 61-71 about a month ago. They only have one day of preparation before facing the Marshall commit Darius George, who had over 30 points in the first game.
“We are going 100% in practice and working on stopping their plays. The key is to keep George under twenty points,” Madden said.
