DALLAS — Playing on the court that Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson play on, the state-ranked Hawkins Lady Hawks and Hawkins swept Harmony in a non-district doubleheader on Thursday afternoon at the American Airlines Center.

“It was very fun, especially for my senior year,” Lady Hawk senior guard Taetum Smith said.

“It was amazing,” Hawkins senior forward Derek Hollman said. “It was definitely a fun experience for me, my teammates and just for the Hawkins community, in general.”

In the girls’ game, Taetum Smith scored 19 of her game-high 21 points to lead Hawkins to a 53-29 victory over Harmony.

Hawkins is ranked No. 17 in Class 2A by the Texas Association of Basketball coaches and No. 5 in 2A by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.

Harmony jumped out to an 8-5 lead, but Hawkins battled back and led 13-12 after the first quarter. A Taetum Smith 3-pointer in the final seconds of the second quarter sent Hawkins into the locker room with a 25-19 lead with Smith scoring 19 of the points.

The Lady Hawks outscored the Lady Eagles 14-5 in the third quarter to pull away for a 39-24 lead before following it up with a 14-5 fourth quarter, as well.

“It was a great opportunity,” Hawkins head girls basketball coach Quiana Conde said. “We couldn’t have done it without our school and the community that stood behind us and wanted the girls to have the experience.

“I thought we came out kind of flat in the first half. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the break. But I thought we played really flat. And then our shots weren’t falling. I expected that, especially with the depth perception and all. I think they made adjustments or finally got used to it. I think we kind of showed up and other kids got involved more offensively in the second half.”

Trinity Mauk led Harmony with 13 points and eight rebounds. Rendi Seahorn had 7 points and 14 rebounds. Mally Davidson had 6 points and six steals, and Evie Helpenstill added 3 points.

Other scorers for Hawkins were Londyn Wilson 9; Alana Gipson 8; Alaya Scoggins 5; and Jentri Evans, Haylee Skipworth, Karsyn Johnson, Keiper Pruitt and Ava Ellison all with 2 points. Johnson had eight rebunds. Wilson had six rebounds, and Gipson added four steals.

To go with her 21 points, Taetum Smith had six rebounds, six assists and four steals. She also made two 3-pointers playing with the NBA 3-point line, which is 23 feet, nine inches in the center and 22 feet in the corners, opposed to 19 feet, 9 inches in high school.

In the boys’ game, Hawkins went on a 23-0 run that lasted 14:57 on the way to a 52-17 rout of Harmony.

Hawkins is ranked No. 11 in Class 2A by the TABC and No. 7 in 2A by TexasHoops.

Harmony led 6-5 early, but the Hawks responded with an 8-0 run before the Eagles got a 3-pointer by Ollie Trimble with 10 seconds left in the first quarter to cut the score to 13-9. That was the last time Harmony scored until a Trimble jumper with 1:13 left in the third quarter.

Hawkins led 25-9 at halftime and 38-11 after three quarters. Harmony was 1 of 18 from the field with 13 turnovers in the second and third quarters.

“It was an amazing experience, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially for these kids just to be able to step on the Mavs’ floor is awesome, something I don’t think we could ever do,” Hawkins head boys basketball coach Ty Davis said. “It was definitely fun and a good experience for the kids.

“We played good, played loose. They kind of had fun like I asked them to. It’s not every day you get to play on the Mavericks’ floor. So as hard as I want to be on them and as perfect as I want them to be, I still wanted them to enjoy the moment, and I think they did.”

Derek Hollman led Hawkins with 14 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and two blocks. Other scorers were Eli Snider 6; Eli Smith 6; Larry Moungle 5; Brayden Givens 4; Derien Hollman 4; Paul Smith 4; Damarion Burt 3; Gavin Smith 2; Colton Griffis 2; and Riggin Smith 1. Burt had seven rebounds; Snider six rebounds; Eli Smith six rebounds and Riggin Smith five rebounds. Riggin Smith also had six steals, and Eli Smith had four assists and five steals. Derien Hollman added four steals.

Trimble led Harmony with 7 points. Kaleb Potter and Brittyn Phillips scored 3 points each, and Blayne Hart and Sammar Jones each had 2 points.

Hawkins and Harmony are located less than 20 miles apart and both had to travel more than 100 miles for Thursday’s game. They also got to stay for the Mavericks’ Thursday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers.
