Momentum snow-balled as Hazen met St. Charles on Hornet courts. Improving on his average, Ierry Smith C201 assured HHS a vic- tory scoring 24 points in game play. However, St. Charles forward, Dar- rell Coker f51j, won the game's shooting match with 25. Then tragedy struck! Losses to Bauxite, 71-64, and Palestine, 66-52, and more pressure in the game against Class A-Oak Grove de- moralized the Hornets. An Oak Grove follower declared, Twenty- three's QMike Desmuke'sj ripping of the nets almost annihi- lated us in this one. Completing the season's first half, HHS found itself the victim of Holly Grove, 77-545 Gillett, 81-645 and Oak Grove, 77-47.
