Hazelwood Central fades against White Station

For awhile Sunday, it looked like Hazelwood Central had a good shot to knock off one of the best teams in the state of Tennessee.

The Hawks led Memphis White Station, the No. 4 large school team in its state, 16-12 early in the second quarter of a MLK Girls Basketball Showcase game at North Tech. At that point, most in the stands likely thought Hazelwood Central was the superior team.

"After the first quarter, I thought that, too," said Hawks coach Wendy Reeves.

But then, as Reeves put it, her team just "fizzled." The Hawks quickly lost the lead thanks to a three-point play by Ashley Smalls and three- point baskets from Alicia Payne and Durriya Shields and the Spartans never trailed again en route to a 46-35 win.
