The sophs hadn't played a game in a week and hadn't picked up a basketball since Monday, but they still managed to hold off the Tigers 24 to 21 on Friday night at Johnsburg High School. Despite shooting poorly, getting out rebounded and turning the ball over a few too many times, the Hawks made their free throws when it counted and were cool under pressure in the last two minutes of the game to squeak out the victory. Megan Landazzi led the Hawks with 8 points, Quiara Lawyer had a couple of blocked shots and picked up a charge to help the Skyhawks move their record to 12-13 and 4-7 in the Fox Valley.

Practice on Monday is after school until 4:30.

It ended up being a modest 14 point victory, but the game was never really that close. The Skyhawks played great defense, made a bunch of free throws and rebounded well in their victory.

It was back and forth most of the night. The Hawks turned the ball over 6 times in the first quarter and Woodstock capitalized on each one, scoring 12 points off of the turnovers. Another bucket gave the Streaks a 14 to 5 lead in the first 4 minutes, but by the end of the quarter, Johnsburg had scored 11 straight to lead 16 to 14. Woodstock and Johnsburg traded leads for the next 2 quarters. The Streaks led by 5 points twice in the fourth, including with a minute to go, but the sophs battled, chipped away, played aggressive defense and had gave themselves the opportunity to win the game with 3 seconds left. After running a perfect inbounds play, Kayla Toussaint's 3 pointer, just missed and the Skyhawks dropped to 4 - 7.

It looked like there was a lid on the basket for most of Tuesday's game for the Skyhawks, when they finally got it off in the fourth quarter it was a little too late as the Gators defeated our Skyhawks 34 to 25 at Gator Alley. The Skyhawks were only able to make 1 basket in the entire first half and found themselves down 20 to 8 at halftime. Great defense, including a much improved press, kept the Skyhawks within striking distance and the Skyhawks cut the lead to 7 with under a minute to go, but CLS hung on for the victory.

The Skyhawks were a perfect 10 for 10 from the free throw line.

Round Lake 12

In front of one of the largest crowds ever for the CL South Holiday Tournament, the Skyhawks played one of their best games of the year. Displaying great amounts of patience on offense, the Hawks got plenty of good looks and knocked down shot after shot. In fact, the sophs looked so good even the referees complemented them on their performance. Taylor Jackson led the Hawks with 8 points and Ashley Schuld pulled in about 73 rebounds (unofficially.)

2008-12-21T06:40:00.000-08:00

JHS 50
Harvard 12

The Skyhawks eclipsed the 50 mark for the first time all season, but it wasn't easy. Harvard was scrappy as usual and kept the game close for the first period. Trailing 4 to 3, the Hawks put their full court press on, the Hornets struggled and the sophs were able to put some points on the board outscoring Harvard the rest of the way 47 to 8, including outscoring the Hornets 22 to 0 in the second half. Morgan Berge was red hot with her jumper and scored 10 points for the second game in a row. The win gives the sophomore Hawks a 10-3 record for the season.

Next game - Monday 10AM - Bus at 8:30.

Interesting facts from the Harvard game:

Harvard only had 9 offensive rebounds
JHS forced Harvard into 29 turnovers

JHS vs. Lakes @ CL South - Saturday, December 20, 2008

2008-12-20T10:49:00.000-08:00

JHS 49
Lakes 17

The game against lakes was an easy win for the hawks but still many skills need to be improved upon. Patience on offense is a big one, waiting for the screens , and sprinting down the floor on offense is another. Tara Connerty led the team with 14 points and rebounding well as usual. Our zone defense was working well as the hawks were able to force lakes to turnover the ball multiple times. Morgan Berge added 10 points. The whole team contributed to the win, and ended the game with a score of 49-17.

JHS vs. Marian Catholic - Thursday, December 18, 2006

2008-12-19T18:22:00.000-08:00

Marian Catholic 47
JHS 24

"Crushed" - that's how Taylor Jackson described Thursday's game. That might be a little harsh. The Skyhawks did lose by their biggest margin of the year, but they also played their toughest opponent. Marian was more aggressive and played with more intensity than the sophs had seen all year and it took them awhile to get used to the pressure defense that Marian put on. Trailing 2 to 1 with a minute to go in the first period, Marian outscored the Skyhawks 18 to 7 to lead 20 - 8 at half.

The sophs came out with pressure defense of their own to start the second half and forced Marian into a handful of turnovers and a couple of timeouts. Johnsburg cut the 12 point Marian lead to 6, but Marian stayed composed and pulled away for the victory.

Interesting stats for the game:

Morgan Berge had 5 steals
Tayelor Neiss had 2 assists
Mary Kate Wright and Tara Connerty were 6 for 8 from the field - 75%
The rest of the team was 1 for 27 from the field - 3.7%
We forced Marian into 31 turnovers
Marian got 26 offensive rebounds
and, in what could be a world record, Johnsburg committed 47 turnovers

2008-12-16T20:57:00.000-08:00

JHS 49
CL South 42

It is certainly never boring when the sophomore Skyhawks take the court and Tuesday night was no different. South scored the first 7 points of the game and were up 12 - 5 at one point. But the Hawks finished with 16 points in the first quarter, their best opening stanza of the year. Crystal Lake South hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer and the Hawks went into the locker room trailing 26 to 23 at halftime. Holding the red hot Gators to only 6 points in the third, the girls grabbed the lead back at 35 to 32 at the end of 3 quarters. 5 different girls scored in the fourth and the sophs hung on to win 49 to 42.

For the game, Mary Kate Wright was 1 rebound short of 10. Ashley Schuld grabbed 8 rebounds, while Tayelor Neiss pulled in 7 rebounds. Morgan Berge dished out 4 assists. Jessica Stubitsch snared 4 steals and Katie Weingart had 3. Mary Kate Wright was 7 for 8 from the field and 2 for 2 from the line to score a season high 16 points for the Skyhawks.

JHS vs. Dundee Crown - Saturday, December

2008-12-14T13:52:00.000-08:00

JHS 30
Dundee Crown 17

The sophomore girls were caught off guard to start the game on Saturday night by Dundee Crown's intensity. After struggling with the Chargers defense for much of the first quarter, the Hawks settled down, composed themselves and led 6 - 3 after one quarter. Using their speed and rebounding edge, the girls went to the fast break to extend their halftime lead to 16 - 8. Not only were the Skyhawks able to get easy baskets with their break, the girls played great defense and limited DC to 2 baskets in the 2nd and only 6 shots. Starting the third with a stifling back court defense and then pounding the ball inside to their posts, JHS found themselves up 28 to 12 at the end of three quarters and then cruised to the victory. The sophs are now 7 - 2 on the season.

JHS vs. Woodstock - Wednesday, December 10, 2008

2008-12-11T05:39:00.000-08:00

JHS 41
Woodstock 12

After a very sluggish start to the game, the sophomore Skyhawks turned up their intensity and cruised to a victory over the Blue Streaks. Ahead 7 - 2 after 1 quarter and 17 - 4 at half, the girls looked for open teammates and took good shots and led 30 - 8 at the end of the third quarter.

Taylor Jackson led the Hawks with 9 points. While official stats are not quite ready, I don't think anyone got 10 rebounds, so there will be no new car giveaway this week.

Interesting facts for the game

The Hawks forced 27 turnovers
Woodstock had only 11 offensive rebounds
4 girls had 5 or more rebounds (Jackson 5, Wright 6, Schuld 8, Weingart 5)
Tayelor Neiss led the Hawks with 4 assists (only 1 turnover) and 5 deflections
The sophs had a season low 14 turnovers
Alyssa Moran drew 2 charges, the only charges drawn by the Hawks the whole year
Katie Weingart led the team with 2 blocked shots
Morgan Berge had 5 steals
