Our two travel teams continued to challenge themselves against the tough competition of the Milford Knights Basketball League with the eighth-grade team playing three games and the seventh-grade two games.
The eighth-grade team lost three hard fought games but had multiple players give significant efforts throughout the weekend.
Balanced scoring was on display as three separate players led the team in scoring in their three games. Zoe Dombroski led with eleven points in one game, Weston Ahearn totaled fifteen points in another game and Jen Palmer was the third different leading scorer of the weekend with eleven points.
Alanah Hairston & Madison McGuire continue to provide excellent defense and Katie Maher has been one of the best rebounders on the roster.
The seventh graders played two games over the weekend and although the results were not in their favor, the team continues to get solid individual performances.
Sisters Beverly & Shirley Diglio-Guerrette lead the scoring on Saturday and Janellis Delvalle was the leading scorer Sunday. Leah Kish cleaned up the glass by pulling down fifteen rebounds over the two games.
