Highlands 40 St. Henry 38

[Sweeperboy]

An intense game with the first half being on the sloppy side. Highlands makes the game winner with 5 seconds to go. St. Henry got a decent look at the buzzer, but the ball bounced harmlessly off the back rim. Highlands outscored St. Henry 10-6 in the final period to grad the win. Highlands also shoots 16 free throws to St. Henry's 6. Abby Janszen got to the line 4 times, and it very easily could have been 14 times. The refs let the Highlands players body her all night long. I believe it was Natalie Horner who took the game winner. Nothin' but net from 16 feet.

 

Being without Mallory Adler for HHS and the 3rd Ref might have something to do with HHS winning at the buzzer and the St Henry girl getting beat up in the middle. Kudos to HHS big girls for using the 2 Ref night to their favor.

Don't know if a third ref would have helped St Henry's cause. The two refs working the game were in position to see the fouls and make the calls, they just chose to ignore the contact most of the time. There were calls missed on both ends, but when 28 of your 38 points come from your inside game and they only shoot 6 free throws, something seems a little irregular.

Abby Janszen is a really fine player for St. henry.

 

I predict she will be one of the best in the region next season.

 

great speed, long arms, and finishes well.

 

Go Abby!
