Hugoton Defense Soars in Victory over Southeast of Saline

     If there was any doubt about how the game was going to go, they were quelled by the
second period where a dominant Hugoton Lady Eagle defense stymied the Lady Trojans offense, holding Southeast to 19% shooting on the night in a 53-17 victory. 
  Molly Chitty of Southeast who lead the team in scoring with seven points, helped keep the game competitive in the first quarter, which ended in a 15-9 lead for the Eagles. However, the offensive tandem of JoHanna Rawlins and Laney Hoskinson, who scored 15 and 12 respectively on the night, lead the Eagles to a 28-14 halftime lead.
   The second half was defined by the complete lockdown defense of the Eagles allowing
Southeast 3 points in the entire half, and none in the fourth quarter. The stout Hugoton defense was anchored by Jordyn Beard, who scored eight points in the contest, but more importantly nabbed 14 rebounds, 9 on the defensive end. Hugoton will face Sterling tomorrow at 4:30 in Ora Shields Activity Center. SE Saline plays Smoky Valley at 3:00 tomorrow at Ora Shields.
