Royals Get Senior Night Victory

Hamilton County Reporter

Hamilton Southeastern had a successful Senior Night, as the Class 4A No. 1 Royals
honored their five seniors, then beat 4A No. 10 Lawrence North 56-45.

Southeastern led 15-12 after the first quarter, then pulled away in the second
period for a 34-22 halftime lead. Jackie Maulucci hit two 3-pointers in the first
quarter, then senior Malea Jackson and junior Sydney Parrish each made two 3s in
the second.

Parrish had eight points in the second quarter, then added eight more in the third,
on her way to 24 points and four 3-pointers.

Jackson totaled three 3s for the game (she made one in the first quarter) and scored 10 points.

Senior Amaya Hamilton scored nine points. Hamilton said that even with it being
the Senior Night game, the Royals were playing for the team and as a family, just as
they do every game night.

Parrish pulled 10 rebounds for a doubledouble, while Hamilton had six rebounds
and four assists. Maulucci also handed out four assists. Royals coach Chris Huppenthal called the game overall a solid team effort, and was pleased with the ball movement in the first half.

Southeastern is 19-1 for the season and will play at Zionsville Friday night as part
of a Hoosier Crossroads Conference girls-boys doubleheader
