Varsity Girls Basketball Recap: Saturday 12/21
The Varsity Girls hosted a non-league matchup against the visiting Lansingburgh Knights. The focus of practice after a tough win on the road earlier in the week was to get back to "us" - with an emphasis on transition - get out and run... but some may say our Riverhawks soared to new heights with an impressive offensive showing!
Right off the jump we executed a classic jump ball scoring first with a quick layup and that set the tone early. Anticipation was also brewing as Junior, Baileigh Briski was just 34 points away from entering the 1,000 Point Club! The Riverhawks executed the game plan and ran the floor well in transition and scored nearly all of their points in the first half off of full court, clean passing and layup finishes. Briski finished with 30 points... at the half.
It was only a matter of time - Baileigh chipped away and connected for a 3-pointer when the buzzer sounded to signal her impressive achievement! Briski was greeted at center court by her teammates and Coaches as fans all over the gym echoed their congratulations!
The Riverhawks capitalized on a 92-25 win over the Lansingburgh Knights and were unselfish, despite the offensive clinic they put on for the crowd. A team and season high number of assists was the result of beautiful passing and impressive finishes in transition! The entire squad put in solid minutes on the floor and contributed to the win this afternoon.
Reaghan Hellen finished with 23 points, Annabelle Hagen (12) and Madi DeRose (7) each collected their season high totals, while Cam Slater finished with 11. Riley McDonald chipped in with 2 (2-2 from the FT line) and demonstrated her usual control under the boards.
Briski finished with 37 points and secured her spot in the record books, as she is only the third player in the Girls Basketball Program history to reach the 1,000 point milestone!!
The Riverhawks will enjoy a well-earned break to spend time with loved ones around the Holiday Season but will be back in action at HOME on Saturday 12/28 at 12:30pm vs Johnstown!
