From Hawkblog Special Correspondent Portia Ash

On Saturday night, the Boys’ JV welcomed the North Baltimore Tigers to the Varsity Gym and wrapped up a very busy week of basketball. The Hawks beat the Tigers 44-19 and advanced to 16-2 on the season.

The Hawks went up 10-4 on the Tigers in the first quarter and would never trail the Tigers. Throughout the game the Hawks played an aggressive press, good team defense and were able to execute their offense to put people in a position to score. The Hawks went into the half leading the Tigers 22-9.

In the second half, the Hawks continued with good execution on both ends of the floor and were able to open up a nineteen point lead over the Tigers, ending the third quarter leading the Tigers 34-15. In the fourth quarter, the Hawks went to their bench enabling more Hawks to see action in the fourth quarter.

The Hawks ended the game with a 44-19 win over the Tigers, moving their record to 16-2 on the season.

Up next, the Hawks wind down the ’10-‘11 season with a game on Friday against the Woodward Polar Bears and the final game of the season on Saturday against the North Central.
