When Hannah Hicks realized she had been subbed for, she smiled sheepishly and headed toward the Jayhawks’ bench.

“I can’t play with six,” head coach Dave Turnbull told her as she walked by.

It only seemed that way.

Hicks, the 6-foot forward from Cleveland, poured in 24 points; grabbed 30 rebounds, including 17 on the offensive glass; blocked five shots; and added four assists and three steals to lead the hosts to a 93-59 victory over Butler County CC at the Physical Education Complex.

The win improved the Jayhawks’ record to 5-4 and, just as importantly, their performance was precisely as Turnbull had drawn it up.

In addition to Hicks’ monster effort, the first-year coach received 18 points and 12 rebounds from Destiny Evans; 18 points and six rebounds from Kymi Nance; and 17 points, nine assists, six rebounds and five steals from D’Auzhanay Harden.

All told, Jamestown CC scored 80 points in the paint, held a whopping 63-36 rebounding advantage and shot 44% from the floor.

Much of that was the result of Hicks’ dominance in the low block.

The game was close early — the Jayhawks led 22-15 after the first quarter and 45-32 at the break, but they went on a 29-13 run in the third period to put the game away. Evans had 8 points, Nance had 7, Jessica Beehler added 6, and Harden and Hicks collected 4 apiece.

Aslyn Pry scored a game-high 28 points for Butler County CC, while teammate Hailey Metzger added 23, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc.

But the Pioneers (0-4) were no match for the Jayhawks, who will travel to Genesee CC for a 5:30 p.m. game Friday before entertaining WVU Potomac St. College at 1 p.m. Sunday.
