The Hebron girls hit the road for another Region 8-AAA contest tonight. The Lions travelled to the South Carolina border to take on Hart County, who was in second place in the region, vying for first. The girls had what might be their best defensive performance of the season in the 72-24 win.

The Lions closed the first quarter with a 5-1 run to lead 14-6 at the end of the first quarter. The Bulldogs hit a three on their first possession of the second quarter. It was 14-9 at this point. Then it wasn’t. Hebron went on a 20-2 run to close the second quarter taking a 34-11 lead into halftime. Hebron’s stifling defense remained as such in the second half. They weren’t picking Hart up in the full court but the Bulldogs couldn’t get into any of their halfcourt sets. Passes were often stolen and if they got a shot off, the Lions were cleaning the glass. Hart did not get many second chances on the offensive end. Hebron went on a 15-4 run to start the third quarter taking a 49-15 lead with 4:03 remaining in the period. The Lions coasted from there. Hebron’s defense held the Bulldogs 31 points below their average on the season. There was some offense tonight though. Aubrey Beckham had her biggest scoring output of the year as she poured in 24 points in only three quarters of play. She also had five assists, five steals and four rebounds. Kerra Butler had double-double numbers once again scoring 14 points and pulling down 11 boards. Nicky Daniel scored 13 points for Hebron while Kayla Lane put up six.
