No letdown for J-Hawks in rout of Clinton

After losing a heart-breaker to Iowa City High Friday night, a Saturday afternoon matinee at home was just what the doctor ordered for the Jefferson girls.

There was no noticeable letdown from the night before, when they led the fifth ranked Little Hawks by one at halftime only to fall 84-63.

Instead, the J-Hawks came out fired-up from the start – stealing passes all over the place, yanking down rebounds on both ends of the court and racing non-stop.

Before even taking a breather, they were up 20-9 after a quarter, soon stretched the margin to 20 and then 30 at the half.

By the time the bench was cleared midway though the third period they led by 39 points and finally settled for a 64-27 rout.
