Girls basketball Huskies roll past Lafayette Jeff By RICHIE HALL ARCADIA - It was an eventful night at Hamilton Heights on Thursday, as the Huskies cut the ribbon on their new high school athletic center, and saw their girls basketball senior players off with a big victory. Heights beat Lafayette Jefferson 67- 35 to finish its regular season. The Hus- kies shrugged off a slow first half to de- liver a dominant third quarter, which sent them to a win and ran Heights’ win streak to five, a nice way to enter sectional play. “It was a great night for our seniors,” said Huskies coach Keegan Cherry. “The first half, we just didn’t bring it for what- ever reason. If it was the reality of your last home game. That’s always a tough, tough thing when it hits you in the face.” Still, Heights led 20-14 after the first quarter, with senior Bayleigh Runner scoring 11 of those points, including two 3-pointers. The second period was a low-scoring one, but the Huskies out- scored the Bronchos in that one, and led 29-21 at halftime. Runner added another seven points in the second, to total 18 for the half. “There are certain players whenev- er you get an opportunity to coach and they leave your program, and you know you’re going to not going to have them after four years, and you dread when that time comes, and Bayleigh Runner’s one of those players that I dread not having on the floor going forward,” said Cherry. “Now her ride’s not over yet. Next season I’m going to look for 5 out there and she’s not going to be there, so it’s going to be an adjustment for all of us.” Meanwhile, the Huskies got them- selves adjusted in the second half and rolled through the third quarter, out- Reporter photo by Richie Hall scoring Lafayette Jeff 27-2.
