The front of the jersey might have said Bees, but for the Bayonne girls basketball team, it might as well have been a bulls-eye. Possessing that target since the opening tip of the season, the Bees showed that they are the best team that Hudson County has to offer after defeating Lincoln 39-33 last night in the final of the Hudson County Tournament at the Yanitelli Center. “I’m proud of these girls,” head coach James Turner said. “They worked hard. As a coach I have 18 daughters. It’s that glaring moment when you’re daughter graduates high school or college and does something successful. This is awesome for the girls.” In addition to being the county’s best for the second straight season (they won the HCIAA Coviello title in 2009), Bayonne (20-5) showed that they are the deepest squad as well. Unlike most of their wins this season, it wasn’t the inside-out combo of Connie Hayes and Lisa Rovatsos doing the heavy lift on offense. Instead it Tara Flynn who led the way with 15 points and six rebounds to take home MVP honors. Read the full article on HudsonCountyVarsity.com February 28, 2010
