Indians 40, Hyaks 38
OYEHUT — South Bend’s Jessica Sanchez drained a 3-point basket with 28 seconds left from the corner in what turned into the game-winning basket over North Beach in this Pacific 2B League finale on Thursday.
The Hyaks got a chance in the final seconds for a game-winner, but the long-range shot fell away.
On Monday, North Beach (8-8, 12-7) will host the Central No. 5 seed, while South Bend (7-9, 9-11) will travel to the Central No. 3 seed in the opening round of the District IV 2B girls tournament.
“It was a tough basketball game,” South Bend head coach Gary Wilson said. “We got a good lead to start and it helped later on. North Beach fought back to get the lead, but we got it back with some key plays.”
“It was a good game from both sides,” North Beach head coach Larry Moore said. “Both teams played hard defense and points were hard to come by.”
Karley Reidinger led all scorers with 17 points, with Sanchez pulling down 23 rebounds, for the Indians. Coach Wilson cited Hannah Byington for her defense on Reilly Moore, who was held to just six points on the night.
Adelina Desamours led the Hyaks off the bench with 12 points, with Hannah Avery dishing out eight assists and Mariah Vogler pulling in seven rebounds.
