JV Hawks defeat Marriotts Ridge 35 - 31

The JV Hawks improved to 11-2 with a win over the Marriotts Ridge Mustangs Friday. The Hawks started off in the same fashion as last game; with a 3pt FG in their first possession, this time by Corey Ruben.  Once the Mustangs got possession it was like watching our Hawks on offense -- as the Mustangs appeared to run the same offense set. This resulted in a slow paced first quarter which closed with an 11-6 edge for River Hill. In addition to two 3pt FGs by Nathan Check, PJ Kinkhead, Walt Moody and Tim Park all had breakaway steals which helped the Hawks create some scoring distance in the 2nd quarter where the Hawks had a 22-9 lead at the half. Essentially trading baskets, the Hawks finished the 3rd with a 28-18 lead. Playing with a sense of urgency, the Mustangs drew to within two until Raamah Vaughn's missed lay-up with 6.2 remaining was tipped in by Evan Richardson to give the Hawks a four point lead and seal the game. Evan Richardson led all scorers with 16 points.
