Hampton took care of business Friday night.
The Lady Bulldogs jumped out early and never looked back to roll to a 62-32 victory over Chuckey-Doak, while the Bulldogs did much the same to take an 86-61 win over the Black Knights.
In the boys’ game, Cadon Buckles set the tone early.
Buckles accounted for 21 of Hampton’s 25 points to push the Bulldogs to a 25-9 lead after a quarter of play. Geno Carrico and Buckles had six points apiece in the second as HHS took a 41-22 halftime lead.
A balanced Hampton attack in the second half prevented any thoughts of a Chuckey-Doak comeback.
Buckles had 32 points to lead the way, while Carrico had 12 points. Dylan Trivett scored 10 points and added seven assists and six rebounds to the Hampton effort.
The girls’ game was all Hampton from the start.
Madi McClain scored 13 first-quarter points to power the Lady Bulldogs to a 28-2 lead after a quarter of play.
Hampton continued to keep the pressure on as Taylor Berry had nine points in the frame to help HHS take a 48-12 halftime lead.
From there, Hampton stayed on cruise control.
Berry had 19 points to pace the Lady Bulldogs, while McClain finished with 17 points. Macy Henry had 12 points.
Linsey Jenkins scored 10 points for the Lady Bulldogs.
