H.S. ROUNDUP: Hornets win fourth straight, 62-25 over Rock Creek

> SOUTHERN INDIANA — Henryville’s girls’ basketball team won its fourth straight game and went above .500 at 7-6 with a 62-25 victory over Rock Creek Academy on Thursday.

The Hornets led 27-7 after one quarter and held the winless Lions to 15 points through three quarters to build a 35-point lead.

“I feel like we continue to get better each day,” Henryville coach Josh Conrad said. “We did a better job on both sides of the court at times tonight. We have been battling injuries and illnesses, so it was nice to see some girls play different positions and make an impact.”

Emily Hollis led the Hornets with 14 poitns, including a pair of 3-pointers. Lesha Dallas (11) and Haley Huddleston (10) joined Hollis in double-figures. However, it has been the Hornets’ improved defense that has led to the impressive streak, Conrad said.

“I think we’ve played better defensively and that’s helped us out,” he said. “We haven’t been making the turnovers we were early on and that’s helped our defense out.”

Brittany Page led the Lions with seven points and Tabitha Tomskevitch and Christa Scholl added six apiece.

NEXT: Henryville (7-6) hosts Crothersville (1-9), Jan. 2; Rock Creek (0-9) hosts Madison Shawe (3-7), Jan. 3.
