If Hickory wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Grassfield, they should've done a better job of containing Amaya Fisher. The Grassfield Grizzlies blew past the Hickory Hawks 75-47 on Friday thanks in part to Fisher, who went 10-for-15 en route to 22 points in addition to seven assists and seven boards. That's the most points she has posted since back in January of 2024.
