Thoughts on the game: A dominant game by Hazleton Area. They had a big lead in the first quarter and they never took the pedal off the gas. The Cougars seemed like they couldn't miss their shots tonight, especially Ashley Martincek, who had 14 and in all, 4 Lady Cougars had points in double digits. For Pittston Area, great game by Marley O'Brien who had 17 points.
