Hartselle 59 Jackson Olin 52

HARTSELLE – A second-half surge propelled the Hartselle varsity girls to a 59-52 win over Jackson Olin on Monday night advancing them to the Northwest Regionals at Wallace State on Friday morning.

Anna Mathis – the Lady Tigers only senior – made the most of her final home game. She poured in a team-high 18 points and with Hartselle standout Moriah Taylor in foul trouble early, Mathis carried the offense for the Lady Tigers during crucial stretches in the game.

“This was the last game I will ever play on this floor,” Mathis said. “Now we get to go to Wallace (State). We will have to keep working on our defense and limit our turnovers. (Jackson Olin) was living off of our mistakes in this game so we need to clean that up.”

“Anna came through in some tough situations for us,” said head coach Gary Orr. “She played great and we needed her to play great for us to win. This will be a big challenge for us. We are going to do our part and hopefully go down there and play to the best of our ability.”

A return trip for the tradition-rich program will happen Friday morning as the Lady Tigers will take on Hazel Green. Hartselle and Hazel Green will play at 12 p.m.
