SOUTH HADLEY – Drew Alley scored 10 points in the first half and helped the South Hadley girls basketball team pull away from Hampshire Regional 47-29 at home on Tuesday.

The Tigers (5-1) scored the game’s first seven points and opened with a 17-2 run. Hampshire (1-8) didn’t get on the board until Alyssa Colon-Garcia put back an offensive rebound with 2 minutes, 15 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
