Hammond coach Larry Moore Jr. knows Harold Woods wishes he had another chance.
The Wildcats senior guard missed a short jump shot against Lawrence North that would ve capped off an upset victory over the Wildcats, who are ranked as the No. 1 team in the state by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
Instead, No. 20 Hammond left the Sneakers for Santa Shootout at Brownsburg on Dec. 5 with a 52-51 loss. Woods finished the game with two points on 1-of-8 shooting from the field. He was definitely bothered by it, Moore said. His head was down, but I told him to keep his head up. . The other guys (Darrell) Reed and Reggie (Abram) supported him through that moment, and that (senior) core is who is going to lead us all year.
