This season hasn't been kind to the Hirsch Huskies, who are still winless after their seventh contest. Their tough 31-10 defeat to Bowen on Wednesday might stick with them for a while. While losing is never fun, Hirsch can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 634th, while Bowen is ranked 289th).
Bowen's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Kimora Myles led the charge by scoring 22 points along with 3 steals. That makes it five consecutive games in which Myles has scored at least 25% of Bowen's points. The team also got some help courtesy of D'Mya Adams, who scored 6 points along with 10 rebounds and 4 steals.
Hirsch's loss was their fourth straight on the road, which bumped their record down to 0-7. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 3.8 points per game. As for Bowen, they now have a winning record of 3-2.
Hirsch will be playing in front of their home fans against Tilden at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few points on average, (Tilden: 13.5, Hirsch: 20.3) so any points scored will be well earned. As for Bowen, they will head out on the road to face off against Hancock at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
