Jenny's got your number
Senior sets Arrowhead girls record with 43 points
"Unstoppable."
Arrowhead girls basketball coach Heidi Hamilton provided the adjective, and Jenny Smith provided the offense. The senior post carved up Germantown in school-record fashion Tuesday, scoring 43 points and guiding her team to a 59-35 nonconference win over the other Warhawks.
Smith made 16 of 18 shots from the field, 11 of 11 from the free-throw line and grabbed 12 rebounds.
"It doesn't get more perfect than that," Hamilton said. "She got great looks from her teammates, and she had the best game I've seen her play. She had 34 against Franklin earlier this year, and this just puts an exclamation point on it."
Smith broke the record set by Lorraine Lorenzen, who scored 42, 40, 37 and 35 points in a game to hold the previous top four marks in school history. Lorenzen graduated in 1977 and later played at the University of Wisconsin.
Emily Dufek of Lake Country Lutheran holds the area record with 44 points, recorded in January of 2010.
Smith's 34 points earlier this year matched the mark by Angie Wenzel ('98) and was tied for fifth all-time in Arrowhead history.
Smith elected to deflect the credit to her teammates, including guards Amanda Bauer and Kyle Davis.
"The main reason (this happened) is because of my team)," Smith said. "I probably made about three moves by myself. It all came from passing: the lobs, them driving and dishing. I took what I could get, and it was all because of them.
"Going into the game, it felt no different than any other game."
Smith scored 31 points in the first half alone, so it wasn't just another game for long. Smith checked out midway through the fourth quarter with the game well in hand.
"It was a little bit of everything tonight; she got a lot of offensive boards, shot off the dribble and got shots underneath," Hamilton said.
"I knew that she would be special from the first day she walked into the gym."
Smith, who will play for Bradley University next year, was already averaging 18 points per game this year and saw her average jump to 19.7. She's in her fourth year with the varsity.
Arrowhead moved to 13-2 with the win heading into a Friday battle with league foe Waukesha South. Germantown fell to 5-10. The Warhawks will get a big test Feb. 14 against City Conference power Milwaukee King.
