They might have had a short bench and been missing some of their top scorers, but the Peacock Toilers still managed to get the job done against Notre Dame in Moose Jaw high school girls basketball league action on Thursday night.
Hannah Miller scored 22 points to lead the offence as Peacock rolled to a 70-32 win over the Hounds in Wilcox.
Chloe Smolinski scoed 18 and Demara Kilgour added eight points for the Toilers, who took the court with only seven players but still managed to use solid defensive play to control the game.
Notre Dame only hit double digits in the first quarter, after which they trailed 20-10, as Peacock built a 39-17 lead at half and took a 55-24 edge out of the third quarter.
