O'Connell and Hamley took turns carrying the scoring load for Farmington. O'Connell scored 14 of her 20 points in the first half. Hamley finished with 19 points, including 10 in the third quarter when Farmington outscored Clarksville 19-4.
"I thought Trish played one of her finest offensive games of the year," Farmington coach Brad Johnson said. "She does a lot for us. She has to handle pressure, she leads our break and, tonight, she made shots and got to the free-throw line. We got into a little foul trouble in the first half, and she put us on her shoulders."
Clarksville called three timeouts in the third quarter and another one early in the fourth quarter. But the Lady Panthers couldn't contain Hamley, who made two 3-pointers and four consecutive free throws in the quarter. Hamley's second 3 put Farmington ahead 42-25 after the Lady Cardinals led 23-21 at halftime.
"We ran a set play right there at the end, and it was tremendous execution," Johnson said. "She hit the 3 right there at the buzzer, and that allowed us to have some juice going into the fourth quarter."
Grace Dougan scored 18 points for Clarksville, which got to within nine points twice in the fourth quarter. But the Lady Panthers could not overcome their performance in the third quarter, when they were held to two baskets.
