Hipps leads Carroll to victory in opener

Moses Hipps made his varsity debut a memorable one for Archbishop Carroll Sunday afternoon.

The 6-1 freshman guard hit four 3-pointers and scored 20 points to lead the visiting Patriots to a 65-46 victory over St. Joseph’s Prep in their season opener.

Hipps started slow and then came to life in the second half. He scored 15 of his points after the break to help Carroll pull away. Behind Hipps, the Patriots outscored the Hawklets, 42-30, in the second half.

Tyler Seward chipped in with 16 points and Anquan Hill 10 for Carroll. Jimmy King topped SJP with a game-high 21 points.
