Good Hope’s varsity girls coasted to their second straight Class 4A, Area 11 Tournament title, defeating Oneonta 67-37 on Thursday night to improve to 28-4 overall.
The second-ranked Raiders, who wrapped up a perfect 8-0 performance against area foes this season, knocked down 13 3-pointers in the matchup and held comfortable leads at halftime (37-20) and after three quarters (62-32).
Bailey Tetro spearheaded the team’s offensive attack with a game-high 24 points, while Rudi Derrick (14), Heather Tetro (11) and Ivey Maddox (11) also pitched in double figures. Desire’ Odachowski (five) and Charly Johnson (two) scored as well.
Bailey Tetro, Heather Tetro, Kyndall Seal, Maddox and Derrick were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Hanceville’s Victoria Stanley and Jolee McHan also earned spots on the honorary squad.
“Great team win tonight,” Good Hope coach Justin Aby said. “It’s fun to watch this group play, and I have the best spot to watch it all live. They are unselfish and love playing for each other. So many times we have the opportunity to take a tough shot, but they choose to make the extra pass and set up other players instead. We have goals and a tough path ahead of us — but I’ll take this group over anyone. I love being a small part of a great team.”
Good Hope will host Haleyville in the sub-regional round next week.
