HUMBOLDT — The Humboldt High girls earned their Class 3A first round substate playoff game victory against Douglass by being the more aggressive team on Monday night.
The Lady Cubs (9-12) got behind the play of Carsyn Haviland and Karley Wools and stood strong defensively while dominating in the paint in a 54-30 victory.
A McKenna Jones three and a Shelby Shaughnessy layup gave Humboldt an early 9-0 advantage midway through the first quarter. Avery Roberts of Douglass hit a three to bring the score within 11-7 with only a minute left in the first.
