\\ \\ V\ N| SP-FHS girls basketball falls to Hun at home, 51-36 Raiders hold early lead but Hun turns volume up late
SPORTS EDITOR Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School's vamity girls basket- ball team did almost everything it needed to do in order to gain a win during the first half of last Thursday's regular season with Hun: shot well from the field (44 percent), played effective defense (held Hun to 22 percent shooting) and had five players in the scoring column. Unfortunately for the Raiders and their fans, they couldn't continue to do those things during the second half, and as a result they eventually fell to Hun, 51-36, at home at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School for the first time this season. "We played real well during the first half, especially defensively, but we just couldn't execute during the second," said SP-F head coach Bruce Davis said after the game. "It wasn't for lack of effort though. The girls played hard throughout but we just didn't get the breaks during the second half." The Raiders did get most of the breaks during the first half though, as it held a 21-19 lead at halftime due to Hun's poor shooting from the field (6-for-27), which was caused by SP-F's tantalizing half-court zone defenses (2-3 and then 3-2). Meanwhile, SP-F's offense figured out Hun's 1-3-1 zone defense and was able to begin the game on a 10- 3 scoring run thanks to strong play from junior for- ward Jackie Law, who had five of the 10 points, junior Kathryn DeCataldo, who made a three-pointer, and senior co-captain Molly Meehan, who also had a field goal. "Initially we had some trouble with their 1-3-1 but we made some adjustments and were able to get some scores during the first quarter," Davis said. "We were also able to cause some turnovers on defense which led to some transition baskets."
