The Girls B Hawks basketball team lost a hard fought semi final game to #1 seed Amherst 28-35. The Hawks trailed very close behind a tough Amherst team for almost the entire game. Early in the 4th quarter, the Hawks tied it up and battled for the win. Unfortunately in the last few minutes of play, Amherst sunk three back to back three pointers to win the game. The girls had an awesome season and should be so proud of how far they made it. A big shout out to our two captains, Eloise and Abby, for leading this team with devotion and spirit. Great season girls. Go Hawks!
Girls B defeated Milford 31-19 in their 1/4 final playoff game. Addy A led the way in scoring with Eloise, Emma, Abby, Sofia, Evie, Mila, Emerson and Julia adding pts. This was a whole team win, both offensively and defensively. They will move onto the semis against Amherst.
A depleted Hawks A basketball team played Litchfield yesterday in a Tri-County quarter-final game at Litchfield. The Hawks gave them all they could handle as they played an inspired game both offensively and defensively. With the lead changing many time the Hawks found themselves down by 5 with a minute and a half left in regulation but managed to hit some crucial shots and tied the game just before the 4th quarter buzzer sounded. Overtime saw several Hawks foul out, yet they continued to battle. Eventually Litchfield pulled away for the hard fought win 65-58.
Playing great defense and offense the team stuck together and made themselves proud to be HMS HAWKS. Quinn B led the offense with 20 points while AJ M had 15, Parker C had 12 and Christian W had 11. Parker also had the tough job of covering their scorer and amazingly held him to one basket. Emilio D had numerous rebounds and played a strong defensive game.
Girls A lost a tough one 2 Sanborn. The loss ends the season with a 6-8 record. After battling injuries/illness our girls always came to compete + work hard. TY 8th graders- Leah A, Taya M, Sidney B, Tess M, Lea M, Alexis N, Julia F, Emily M, + Kassidy R - great season!
Girls A beat Chester 34-28. After a strong 1st 1/2, Chester battled back to pull within 2 points in the final minute of the game before some clutch free-throws sealed the victory for Hampstead. The win puts them in the 1/4finals against an undefeated Sanborn Team on 2/3.
Even with the clouds rolling in, we had a very successful night of over 100 people joining the NH Astronomers to view our night sky. Families of 5th graders saw clear views of Jupiter and its moons, Mars, Venus and more during the January planetary parade spectacle in our sky!
