The Dillon Lady Beavers avenged one of their two losses on the season and avenged a home court loss last week to Hamilton in the Southwestern A District Tournament title game with a dominant 52-37 win over Hamilton Saturday on the vanquished team’s home court. The win gave Dillon their first Western C title in 11 years according to coach John Hansen. “We knew this was an important game and that we had an opportunity to get some revenge after losing that game last week at home,” said Hansen of his 21-2 Lady Beavers. “I thought the girls had really good energy going into the day, but unfortunately, early on we got in some foul trouble, we made some bad decisions as far as fouling. That took us out of the second quarter – we weren’t able to press and they were able to get a lot more comfortable.”
