In a back-and-forth game that went down to the wire, Ansley House’s 20 points and seven rebounds helped spur Hancock County to a 52-48 victory over Trinity. Carolina Jones filled the stat sheet, scoring 14 points and adding 10 assists, seven steals, and five rebounds. Madyson Higdon led the team in rebounding with 10, while Izzy Ross added eight points and six rebounds. Jordyn Waltrip finished with three points, three rebounds, and two assists.
“This was a game of runs,” Hancock County head coach Kevin Husk said. “I’m really proud of our perseverance. We struggled with their pressure, but we also gave up way too many offensive rebounds tonight. But during the last two minutes of the game, we played solid defense, rebounded, and handled their pressure.”
