Hopewell Varsity Girls Basketball drops to Blackhawk

The game started out exciting, with lots of energy from both teams. Good passing and good defense kept things close in the first period in the game this evening vs. Blackhawk. However as the game progressed the full court press from Blackhawk and missed opportunities started to wear on the Hopewell Girls. Hopewell kept it close though closing out the first period only down 8 points with a score of 18-10.

In the second period Blackhawk began pulling away from Hopewell as Hopewell struggled to find an answer to Blackhawks Number 11, Alena Fusetti. Alena Fusetti was lights out putting up 8 scoring plays and dominated from the corners. By the end of the Second Period the score was 37-18 Blackhawk.

Unfortunately for Hopewell they could not get anything going with defense sputtering out and little to no offense left in the game it ended with a final score of 67-28, with Hopewell only scoring another 10 points in the last two periods combined.
