Hayward gets praise from opponent

Laura Hayward was called up to the varsity level for the regional final her freshman year, and then-rookie head coach Susie Runaas had the bravery to start her.

It paid off, as the point guard scored 12 points and led the Raiders to a victory over Sheboygan South.

Hayward was instrumental in her final game, as well, with 11 points and four assists. She certainly made a believer out of Vincent guard Teri Stamps, who had 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting.

“She’s the best guard I’ve played against all year. She worked me to death,” said Stamps. “I respect her100 percent.”
