Hotchkiss hosts Millbrook for preseason hoops

The Hotchkiss School opened the 2024-25 girls varsity basketball season with a 50-42 win against Millbrook School in a preseason scrimmage Friday, Nov. 22. Hotchkiss played with high intensity, racking up 32 points by half time with fast breaks and quick plays. Millbrook matched the pace despite the starting five playing the whole 32 minutes, denying Hotchkiss a lead greater than 10 points throughout the game. Millbrook battled in the paint and contested rebounds enough to be competitive, but Hotchkiss’s superiority in crashing the boards and running full court plays ultimately won them the game. The match maintained a fast pace despite occasional shot clock mishaps that drew the ire of referees and attending parents alike.
