The Hazen girls basketball team didn’t have quite enough gas and fell to Foster 44-43 Wednesday.

The tiebreaker loss eliminates the Highlanders from the playoff chase and ends their season.

Hazen (8-13 overall, 7-9 Seamount) finishes the season sixth in the Seamount and out of the playoffs, a year after the team’s first state run in decades.

Airashay Rogers started things off with a rebound and fastbreak layup, giving Hazen a 2-0 lead. Foster focused its defense around Rogers most of the night, bottling her up at times. Hazen carried a 23-17 lead into the half.

The Highlanders came out of the break blazing, building a 12-point lead thanks to a 6-0 run. But after that short burst, the Bulldogs took over and responded with a 14-2 run that erased Hazen’s lead.

Foster led by as many as four late in the fourth quarter. Rogers drove and made a layup to bring the Highlanders within two. On the next possession, Wnek forced a turnover and Rogers made a free throw a few moments later to bring Hazen within one.

That was as close as Hazen would get. Foster missed late free throws which gave Hazen a chance, but the Highlanders’ final shot came up short.

After being named the Seamount’s player of the year, Rogers led Hazen with 16 points. Rogers averaged 18.4 points, 7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.8 steals per game this season as a sophomore. She led the Seamount in scoring.

Wnek added nine points. She averaged 9.6 points and 4.8 steals per game. She was second in the league in steals.
