Hawks vs. Broncos

OSMOND — On Friday, Feb. 9, the Hawks welcomed the Stuart Broncos to town for their final game of the regular season.

Osmond-Randolph took a slim 9-6 lead after the first quarter of action. The second quarter saw the Hawks struggle to get shots to fall as Stuart was able to take a 16-12 lead going into the halftime break.

The third quarter was very competitive as both teams would trade baskets but Stuart would build on their lead slightly, outscoring the Hawks 15-14 in the quarter to take a 31-26 lead going into the final quarter.

The final quarter was full of excitement as both teams would fight back and forth until the end. A Sophie Gansebom three-pointer in the closing seconds pulled the Hawks within one point.

A final timeout to stop the clock, and a foul to send a Stuart player to the free throw line with only 0.2 seconds left on the clock didn’t leave the Hawks with enough time. A made free throw would take them to the final score of 40-38 in favor of the Broncos.

Despite the final score result, the Hawks were able to outmatch the Broncos in every statistical category.

Osmond-Randolph would eclipse the 40 rebound mark for the second straight game as they finished with 42 total rebounds. The rough shooting night proved to be too much for the Hawks to overcome as they finished 14 of 78 from the field and 9 of 19 from the free throw line.
