Phoenix St. Mary’s girls basketball coach Curtis Ekmark was concerned how his team would respond to playing four games in one week. "="">
So far, the Lady Knights are three-for-three with one to go. They dismantled visiting Chandler Hamilton with ease 75-44 on Thursday night (Jan. 13) and take to the road to face Phoenix Horizon on Friday night (Jan. 14).

“I’m proud of the kids for grinding it out,’’ Ekmark said. “We played pretty well against one of the best teams in the state.’’
"="">
Pretty well, indeed.

St. Mary’s (16-1) was sharp on defense from the opening tip. The Lady Knights rebounded and ran the floor, and Hamilton (13-3) seldom could keep up. St. Mary’s also had crisp passing, setting up higher-percentage shots.
