Olivia Healy does it all for ReadingThe Mass & NH High School Basketball Report visited Reading High School to see a girls/boys double header. In the first game, the Reading girls dominated Burlington in a 60-21 blowout win. Senior wing and Bentley bound Carlene Kluge (our #16 ranked senior) outscored the entire Burlington team 25-21 to lead the Rockets. The Rockets have two super sophomores guards in 5'9" Morgan Obrien and 5'10" Olivia Healy. Both talents chipped in with 10 points each.
Morgan Obrien was impressive as she is an exceptional shooting guard who has great rotation on the basketball. Her handle has improved since the last time we saw her. Although the point is not her natural position, she is benefiting from playing that position for her high school team. Olivia Healy was also impressive and we love the way she competes. She is a talented guard that can do it all. She can shoot it, put it to the floor, and she is physical and aggressive around the basket.
In the second game, the Reading boys defeated Burlington in a 75-71 in a competitive basketball game that came down to the last minute. Reading's senior point guard Trey Jones was the catalyst for Reading as he played as well as we have ever seen him. He was sensational last night as he made big shot after big shot and made great pass after great pass. Jones has surely matured as a point guard as he stayed under control all evening and made the right basketball play each and every time down the floor. His second half performance sealed the victory for the Rockets and included two sensational passes, two sweet pull-ups, an NBA range three, and a hard take to the basket. Junior Kenny Reed did not have his best outing and netted 8 points for the Rockets. Burlington's senior point guard Zach Hurynowicz was his usual self as he played hard, came up with lose ball, and finished on offense in a multitude of ways netting 22 points on the evening.
