“Clearfield has a nice ball club with good inside play and good guards,” said St. Marys coach Bob Swanson. “We had a good defensive effort in the fourth quarter as Clearfield turned the ball over seven times.”
“Kayla (Hoohuli) had seven rebounds to got along with her 46 points. Amanda Simbeck had five rebounds while Adair Gennocro had four rebounds and three steals,” said the coach.
“It was an exciting game. Adair really worked hard and Mandy Gerarge did a nice job on the defensive end and Kayla did a nice job defensively on Byerly in the post,” commented Swanson.
“It was a team effort with good team defense,” added coach Swanson.
Hoohuli’s 46 points came on one two, 12 threes and an 8-for-8 night from the foul line. Kayla’s total points and 12 threes were both school records. Gennocro was next in scoring with eight.

She would later add two foul shots to make it 5-0. Byerly and Porter hit field goals to make it 5-4. A three by Hoohuli and a two by Simbeck gave St. Marys the 10-4 lead.
