Hopwood Middle School 2 is in sole possession of second place in the IT&E Interscholastic Girls Middle School Basketball League after completing a sweep of its two games last Friday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Playing in back-to-back games in Friday\u2019s five-game set, the Lady Hilitais 2 edged Francisco M. Sablan Middle School, 12-11, in the opener. Leona Saures and Kialeen Leemarvin combined for 10 points to lead Hopwood 2, while all of FMS\u2019 points were put up by Rosie Saralu. FMS is now at 3-2, <\/p>\n

The Lady Hilitais 2 played again in the fifth game and beat Saipan Community School, 19-2. The 12 points of Leemarvin led them in the victory against the Lady Tsunamis. The two wins hiked Hopwood 2\u2019s win-loss record to 5-2.<\/p>\n

Sister team Hopwood 1 downed Mt. Carmel School, 10-6, in the fourth game. Trista Paul\u2019s 6 points paced Hopwood 1 in the win against the Lady Knight. MCS and SCS are now at 2-4 following their setbacks against both Hopwood teans.<\/p>\n
