BERLIN- Stephen Decatur’s girls’ varsity basketball team stayed on a big roll this week with a couple of conference wins, including a 75-44 rout of Washington at home on Tuesday.
The Seahawks cruised past Crisfield, 64-18, last Thursday, showing little signs of a letdown after a big win over rival Pocomoke earlier in the week. Back in action on Tuesday at home against Washington, the Decatur girls kept the pedal to the metal, routing the Jaguars, 75-44.
Decatur jumped out to a big early lead, but Washington hung in the game through much of the first half. The Seahawks led 41-20 at the half and 59-30 after three quarters before pulling away for the 75-44 win. Dayona Godwin was one of three Seahawks with a double-double, scoring a remarkable 39 points while grabbing 17 rebounds. Amaya Mumford scored 17 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, while Lexie VanKirk scored 15 and grabbed 13 rebounds.
The win was the eighth straight for the Seahawks, their last loss coming during the Governor’s Challenge over the holiday break. Decatur is now 13-3 overall, their only other loss coming to rival Pocomoke back on December 21. The Seahawks avenged that loss last week with a 51-42 win over the Warriors. The Seahawks face Bennett at home next Tuesday, followed by another home game against Mardela.
