Ariel Hearn flipped the switch on her shooting touch late in the first quarter, and the rest of Arlington's night seemed to take care of itself Tuesday as the Tigers rolled to a 51-35 victory at Craigmont, clinching the school's first District 14-AAA regular-season title.

At the end of a difficult first quarter, Hearn hit a 3-pointer and back-to-back layups off steals to pull the Tigers (21-3, 9-0 and No. 4 in the Dandy Dozen) to 10-9 after one period. She opened the second quarter with back-to-back treys, and the Chiefs (15-7, 5-5) began fading in the rearview........

.......The Tigers were up, 24-17, at halftime thanks to 15 points from Hearn, who averages 13.2 on the season. She didn't score again, but the rest of the Arlington lineup checked in at varying points in the second half.


Junior forward Logan Hammonds had seven of her nine points in the second half and backup senior center Amber Starks had six of her eight. Christyn Hopper added seven in the final two quarters and after a rough first half, senior pivot Camille Alberson added a half-dozen.
