From staff reports

Hopefully a long night in the season opener won’t mean a long season for St. Aloysius.

Terrance Staten scored 10 of his game-high 12 points in the first half, and visiting Hillcrest jumped out to a 19-point halftime lead en route to an easy 60-23 victory over St. Al.

The Flashes had problems handling Hillcrest’s defensive pressure and did not have a single quarter with more than eight points. Hillcrest, which went 26-5 last year, led 33-14 by halftime.

St. Al was led by Matt Wooten with five points.

(G) Hillcrest 65,

St. Al had just six players dressed and ended the game with four as two fouled out.

Hillcrest led 32-10 at halftime, then cleared the bench in the second half. Kristen Kliesch led Hillcrest with 14 points.

St. Al was led by Ashtin Giambrone with 11 points and Allie Willis scored seven.
