Hamilton Heights rolled up its win streak to seven games on Tuesday by dominating two Fort Wayne teams as part of the Summit Conference Classic.
First, the Class 3A No. 6 Huskies won at Bishop Dwenger 59-30. Heights led 24-6 after the first quarter and 37-11 at halftime, with Camryn Runner pouring in 14 points and MyKayla Moran scoring nine. The two would finish as Heights’ leading scorers, with Runner totaling 20 points and Moran 15. Runner finished with five 3-pointers and Ella Hickok had two 3s.
The Huskies kept their defense rolling in their second game at Concordia Lutheran, where they won 47-22. Heights was up 18-11 at halftime and 30-18 after three quarters, but ran away with the fourth quarter, outscoring Concordia 17-4.
Mia Shields threw in three 3s on her way to 13 points, followed by Runner with 11 and Moran with 10.
Huskies coach Keegan Cherry said his team played solid in both games, and that Heights’ defense was “really good.” He said in Game 1 “we were locked in and did a great job recognizing personnel.”
Cherry said the Huskies played Game 2 with short preparation, but “overall did a nice job. Probably didn’t shoot it as well versus Concordia, but our girls battled and did what they needed to do. Both teams presented challenges for us and credit to our girls for staying focused and getting two nice wins.”
Heights is 11-3 and plays at Blackford on Thursday.
