FREEPORT, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — Freeport takes round one of the season series from Freeport knocking off the Pretzels Friday night 64-50.
In a matchup of what could be the two best teams in the conference, Freeport pounced early outscoring Hononegah 21-10 in the first quarter despite not shooting the ball particularly well. The Pretzels used their size advantage to dominate the glass and score points inside. Hononegah badly missed one of its best players in the post Mikayla Mowers. She was in street clothes because of a minor injury she suffered in Hononegah’s previous game Wednesday.
Freeport continued to lead 35-22 at halftime. Paityn London took over from there in the third quarter. She scored nine points in that frame for Freeport. She finished the game with 24 points and a bunch of steals.
Freeport continued to lead 49-35 after the third quarter. Hononegah got the difference down to single digits in the final quarter but couldn’t get over the hump.
Keagan Huggins scored 11 points and Aailyah Martin ten for Freeport. Hononegah was led by Ainsley Hughes with 18 points. Kylie Simpson and Addison Beilfuss each scored ten.
Freeport is now 9-1, 4-0. Hononegah is 5-3, 3-1. The two teams will meet again in Rockton February 3.
