Good Hope’s Kmal Bell pressures a New Hope player during Tuesday night’s game.

GOOD HOPE — Rudi Derrick scored 16 points, Bailey Tetro added 12, and Good Hope’s varsity girls rode a dominant second-half performance to a 39-24 home win over New Hope on Tuesday night.

The Raiders, who improved to 5-2 this season, led just 15-14 after the first half — neither team able to do much offensively.

But Justin Aby’s squad kept up its defensive intensity following the break, outscoring New Hope 24-10 in the final 16 minutes of the game to pull away.

Ivey Maddox (five), Heather Tetro (four) and Charly Johnson (two) rounded out the scoring.

“Let’s give credit where credit is due,” Aby said. “New Hope plays really, really good man defense. As soon as you throw it in, they’re guarding you 90 feet the whole length of the court. They’re a really good defensive squad. As far as us — we kind of struggled offensively. But that’s, again, credit to New Hope. But I thought it was one of our best defensive performances holding them to 24 points.”
