SW Girls basketball top SC, 43-31

Behind leading scorer Jalyn Hizey's 14 points, the Shorewood girls basketball team fought off their crosstown rival Shorecrest Wednesday night and came away a winner, 43-31 at Shorecrest.

The T-Birds took a 27-17 lead into the halftime locker room only to see the Scots respond with ten straight points to tie the game midway through the third quarter.

That's when the senior Hizey, a former Scot, came to life. She sank a pair of free throws and then a three-point shot to give the T-Birds a lead they would never relinquish, as SW rattled off nine straight points to finish the quarter.

Hizey was beaming after the game. "Beating the Scots makes me happy. Points were hard to come by tonight and I'm glad I was able to help us win".

The boys' teams square off Thursday night at Shorecrest.
