Hershey and St. Pat’s split girls/boys basketball

 

HERSHEY, Neb. (North Platte Post)- The Hershey Panthers and St. Pat’s Irish squared off in a girls and boys doubleheader Thursday night in the Hershey High School gym.  On the girls’ side, Irish eyes were smilin’.  Meanwhile, the Panther boys exacted a bit of revenge and saw a welcome return to their line-up.

The St. Pat’s Lady Irish came out strong, taking a 10-0 lead right out of the gate.  Hershey would fight back, getting as close as 4 in the second half, but their comeback bid fell short.  Led by Candice Shelton’s 19 points, St. Pat’s won 46-32.  They take the season series from the Lady Panthers, 2-1, including a victory in the SPVA championship game.  Hershey was led in scoring by Daynlee Miller and Maddie Seamann who both had 9.

For the boys, Jordan Hiatt made his return to the floor after sitting out much of the football and basketball seasons with a leg injury.  Although he finished with just 3 points and 3 rebounds, getting him back on the floor provided a huge spark for the Hershey players and fans.  Led by 22 points in an impressive night from Jimmy Moore, Hershey turned away several Irish comeback attempts to win their final regular season home game, 52-43.  St. Pat’s leading scorer was Sean Keenan who hit three 3-pointers and finished with 15 points.
