The Tigers hosted the Northumberland Nighthawks in the first game at home for the 2024-2025 girls basketball campaign.

Hants East got out to a blazing start after some jitters, en route to putting up a big victory by the score of 83-36.

Leading the offensive attack was senior Victoria Mumford with 22 points, while younger sister Aleigh, a Grade 9 student, contributed 19 points.

Sierra Foley added 13 points in the win.
