Ruede’s 26 points at the break helped the Lady Hounds take a 51-3 halftime lead after the Hawks didn’t score in the first and made three free throws in the second.

BHS finished out the game by outscoring the Hawks in the second half, 28-19.

Ruede dropped in another 3 in the third quarter and finished with seven 3s in the game and tallied 31 points.
