The Flynn twins — Klare and Katey — put on plenty enough of a show for Brown County girls basketball, but it hardly stops there for the 18-3 Hornets (undefeated in conference play).

The Hornets harass and sting defensively, helping Brown County to find itself frequently scoring 60, 70 and even 80-plus points.

“We’re an up-tempo sort of team,” coach David Phelps said. “We want to put pressure on you both in the full court and the half court. When we’re playing tight, we’re pretty tough. We emphasize ball pressure. That makes everything more difficult.”

The Hornets have ridden their brand of run-and-jump as well as man-press to strong wins, including a recent 53-43 in over Havana. 

“I think we’re unique where we have a chance we can modify our presses, even modifying our man presses, who we’re guarding, where we can double out of bounds or have a person guarding the ball come and guard and double somebody, play behind,” Phelps said. “It’s a nice luxury to have the kind of girls who can adapt.”

This past week, Klare Flynn scored 24 twice and 12 once as Brown County (18-2) defeated Calhoun (66-49), Lewistown (72-35) and Liberty (61-13)and hit seven 3-pointers during the week. 

Phelps said Klare Flynn was averaging about 17 points per game, and has hit her stride after injury issues slowed her early in her varsity career.

‘We’ve got her sister: Katey is averaging about 13 (point), we’ve got three other girls averaging around 9 points per game,” Phelps said. “We have some ability to score in different manners rather than relying on just one girl, but Katey (or Klare) is that, if we need one bucket, they’re the ones we’re looking to.

”The Hornets ended up losing a close game with Illini West on Tuesday, 45-44. Another game with Illini West and a third game with Mendon Unity is still on the schedule.
