Seabury girls drop season opener to Hanover

Seabury senior Kayleigh Boos drives the ball down the lane against Hanover in Seabury's season opener on Thursday at Seabury.

Bishop Seabury’s girls basketball team turned the ball over 41 times in its season-opening 78-7 home loss to Hanover on Thursday night.

Senior Kayleigh Boos scored all seven points for the Seahawks in the first quarter before exiting with an ankle injury in the second quarter.

After trailing just 17-7 after the first quarter, Seabury allowed Hanover (ranked No. 3 in Class 1A-I) to score 61 unanswered points. In the final three quarters, the Seahawks couldn’t deal with Hanover’s pressure defense and only attempted 10 shots during that time.

“I don’t want them to get discouraged by the scoreboard,” coach Nick Taylor said. “Give me 100 percent at all times, and we’ll be fine. We need to learn from this.”

Bishop Seabury (0-1) will play host to Maranatha Academy at 6 p.m. today.
