The Enumclaw High Hornets improved to 2-0 in South Puget Sound League 3A play the evening of Jan. 10, rolling to a 22-point victory over the Decatur Gators.

Aside from keeping their league record clean, the Hornet girls improved to 9-3 overall with the home-court, 55-33 verdict.

Enumclaw didn’t exactly set the world on fire in the first half, scoring just 22 points. But that was more than enough to coast past the outmatched Gators, who put just 10 points on the board during those initial 16 minutes. The third frame made all the difference, as EHS added another 22 points to take an insurmountable 44-19 advantage.

Danielle Saltarelli and Julia Myers were responsible for more than half the Hornet output, scoring 15 and 14 points, respectively.

Enumclaw will play again Friday night, hosting Auburn Mountainview.
