Hebron officially kicked off the 2019-2020 season tonight defeating Chamblee 79-21 in a non-region game at Lions Arena. The Hebron press was on full display early as the team created its offense through its defense. Full court pressure caused turnovers which resulted in points on the other end. The press was called off midway through the first quarter however. Hebron, ranked No. 4 in Class 1A, led 35-4 at the end of the first quarter and 65-7 at halftime. The third and fourth quarters were reduced to six minutes. Hebron outscored the visiting Bulldogs 10-5 in the fourth while Chamblee won the fourth quarter 9-4. All Hebron players saw plenty of playing time in this one and 11 players hit the scoring column. Nicole Azar and Carly Heidger split high scorer honors with 18 points apiece. Azar also had five steals, four assists, three rebounds and a blocked shot, while Heidger had six rebounds, three steals and one assist. Carly Fahey added 10 points, and led the team in steals and assists with eight and five respectively. She also pulled down three rebounds. Malia Fisher scored nine points to go with six rebounds, four assists and a steal while Ella Heard had five points, two rebounds and two assists. Jessie Parish put up four points, two boards, two assists and two steals while Courtney Collins had four points. Riley Warbington, Anniston Bainey and Sydney Whalen added three points apiece while Malia Melton chipped in two points. The Lions are now 1-0 on the season with the win. Hebron will head to Savannah on Friday, facing Savannah Country Day on Friday at 5:30 PM and No. 7 ranked Calvary Day at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Both games will be held at Savannah Country Day.
