Cary, NC- It’s almost the end of the regular NCHSAA Division basketball season and the Green Hope Women remain undefeated, with a remarkable 20-0 record.
Tuesday night vs Cary High, marked the third straight game where the team beat their opponent by more than 20 points. At the final buzzer the score topped out at 91-40. Coach Mike Robinson is very proud of his team who posted some great stats. Sophomore star Kristin Gaffney scored 31 points, Freshman Caitlyn Ranson had 21, and both Ashley Williams and Camille Forbes had double digits.
The previous week’s game vs Lee County Kristen, Caitlyn and Camille again were in double digits with a final score of 97-32.
In the previous home game Green Hope beat opponent Middle Creek 89-60. The team had gone into this match-up a bit nervous as they had played Middle Creek previously to a narrow one point win. But the Mustangs never got any traction as the Falcon offence rolled over them. Kristen Gaffney had 28 points and 3 others were in double digits with Ashley Wiliam scoring 14, Caitlyn Ranson 12, and Alyssa Paul grabbing 11.
Before Christmas break the wins were much narrower. But in January, no school has come close to actually giving this team a run for their money. And the college scouts are taking notice of the Lady Falcons.
Friday’s games were all pushed up to Thursday night, and again the Lady Falcons swept past their opponents, beating Panther Creek 80- 48. With this young team, Green Hope High School women can be an exciting program for years to come.
