Hamilton Southeastern finally got a chance to play in front of its home crowd on Saturday.
It was worth the wait for the Class 4A No. 4 Royals, as they blasted Fort Wayne Carroll 62-41. Southeastern led the Chargers 15-6 after the first quarter and 29-14 at halftime, then steadily increased its lead throughout the second half.
Molly Walton scored 15 points for the Royals and also was solid on defense with five steals. Sydney Parrish added 12 points and dished out four assists, while Malea Jackson scored 10 points.
Amaya Hamilton was strong on the boards with nine rebounds. Tayah Irvin grabbed five rebounds and made four steals.
Southeastern is now 6-0 for the season and travels to Brownsburg on Tuesday to open Hoosier Crossroads Conference play.
