 On Friday night, Mount Pulaski defeated Olympia 49-37.
Skylar Hayes led the team with 18 points and Morgan May also hit
double figures with 10 points.
Saturday afternoon in tournament action the Lady Hilltoppers topped
Decatur LSA 53-41.
Hayes led the team again with 18 points while Isabella Wade scored 8
points for Mount Pulaski.
Mount Pulaski evens their record at 2 wins and 2 losses.
 Following the wins, Assistant Coach Steve Hayes said, “We continued
to add new looks with different players and let it roll. Our offense
isn’t progressing like we had hoped but we are working on it.
Defense appears to be solid, but we are struggling to set up a half
court offense. Our transition game was there late in the last game
and that is something we have to have to score. We ended up fourth
overall and looking at the final stats we could have actually won
the tournament. We shot better from the free throw line than Urbana,
who won the tournament.
"We are young and just need more confidence and more time playing
together.”
The Lady Hilltoppers are now off until November 28th. The team
travels to Okaw Valley then for a 6 p.m. start time for JV with the
Varsity contest to follow.
