“Tonight was a really fun night of basketball,” stated Hillcrest Head Coach Hannah Clark. “Both teams battled hard until the final buzzer. I thought our girls played well on both ends of the floor. We executed our defensive game plan and made them work for every basket. We gave up a few key rebounds down the stretch that led to second chance points for Wheaton and credit to Wheaton, they knocked down their shots.”

Mackenzie Foss led Hillcrest on the offensive end with 20 points and 9 rebounds. Madi Ballweg and Madi Foss chipped in with 14 and 11 points respectively. Ella Knutson led the Comets in rebounding with 10 on the night and Audra Ewan grabbed 6 boards.

Wheaton/Herman-Norcross (8-4) will host C-G-B on Thursday night.

Hillcrest (3-9) travels to Barrett to face West Central Area on Thursday night.
