Controlling the game from start to finish, the Hopkinton Hillers (15-5) won the Foxborough Winter Classic by beating the Foxborough Warriors (3-16), 70-44.
The 14-3 run by the Hillers to start the game was a sign of things to come from Hopkinton. With Doucette (26 points) under the basket and getting to the free throw line, the hight advantage alone was too much for the Warriors to handle.
Early in the fourth quarter, Hopkinton senior Alee Leteria (19 points, 8 rebounds) scored her 1,000th point in her high school career. The captain for the Hillers’ was able to break the 1,000 point barrier even though she lost half a season of basketball as a junior.
“Its a huge goal for anyone to score a 1,000 points. Just a wonderful evening when you have a player score 1,000 points,” Hopkinton coach Rita Atkinson said.
While the Warriors’ season is over, the Hillers now await the tournament pairings to be released on Friday, Feb. 24.
