The Harborwomen Defeat Falmouth in an Exhilarating Quarter Finals Game
February 29, 2020
The Hingham High School gym was packed with screaming fans last Friday as the Hingham Women’s Basketball Team, seeded #4, faced Falmouth, seeded #5, in the Quarter Finals game. Although the team struggled to gain a lead in the beginning, Seniors Ryley Blasetti and Grace Bennis dominated the third quarter, catapulting the team to a 61-42 victory.
This victory was even sweeter than usual for the players, as their rivalry with the opposing team was deep-rooted. Sophomore player Abbey Foley explains, “we all went into this game wanting revenge because they [Falmouth] knocked us out of the tournament two years ago. I am proud of how we played and fought to the end!”
When the final buzzer went off, the girls sprinted to center court, lifting their exhausted but well-worked starters in the air. The Harborwomen advance to face Norwood High Sschool in the Semi-Finals game on Tuesday, guaranteeing a thrilling game. Go Harborwomen!
