Van Buren routs Holy Trinity Catholic
Courier sports staff
KEOSAUQUA — The Van Buren girls team breezed to a 57-23 victory over Holy Trinity Catholic Thursday in SEISC South Conference action.
Warrior coach Matt Zeitler said Holy Trinity tried to double Hannah Haynes down low but the strategy backfired.
“She was kicking it back and we were draining it,” Zeitler said. “She’s [Haynes] not a selfish player. She’s going to get her points off rebounds ... She just is.”
Despite the extra attention she received from Holy Trinity’s defense, Haynes still finished with some eye-popping statistics in several categories. She scored 14 points, dished out a team-high seven assists, swatted six shots and led the Warriors (6-1, 6-1) with four steals. Van Buren’s Jordan Billups scored a career-high 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Kaitlyn Johnson added 11 points.
