GIRLS BASKETBALL

ä West Middlesex 33, Mercer 30 — At Mercer, coach Jody Anthony’s visiting Ms. Reds recorded one of the season’s biggest upsets to date, despite converting just 4 of 9 free-throw attempts.

West Middlesex (2-6) mustered a 24-22 margin through 3 periods, then outscored the Lady M’s 9-8 during the decisive 4th frame, with Kayla Shacklock and Jess Bittler bucketing 4 and 3 points, respectively.

Bittler and Shacklock scored 13 and 10 points, respectively, for Middlesex. Also for the Ms. Reds, Maddie Williams contributed 8 assists and 3 steals, Bittler bounded 8 times and also added 3 thefts, and Shacklock and Amanda Novosel notched a half-dozen rebounds apiece.

“It is a good win,” Anthony acknowledged. “I”m proud of the girls. They played hard for all four quarters and never quit. I’m proud of the effort they put forth.”

Cassie Flannery finished as the lone double-digit scorer for Mercer (5-2), tallying 10.

ä Sharon 55, Oil City 15 — At Oil City, the “Road Warriors,” as Lady Tigers’ taskmaster Gene Sarazen described them, overwhelmed the Oilers in the Region 5-AAA lidlifter.

Brittany Benedetto’s 16-point, 5-rebound, 5-steal line, augmented by Annie Carpenter’s 12-point, 5-rebound, 5-steal outing and Carlesia Edwards’ 9 points and Kristen Johnson’s handful of caroms staked Sharon (1-0, 7-0), which never trailed.

“After a long layoff we were a little rusty offensively, but we’re starting to get back on track,” Sarazen assessed, adding in regard to the Lady Tigers’ trip to Titusville on Thursday, “We’re ‘road warriors.’ ... We’ve been on the road so long, we don’t know what it looks like to play at home.”

ä Titusville 54, Hickory 38 — At “The Hive” in Hermitage, the Hornettes (0-1, 3-5) led 9-5 after the opening quarter, but were outscored 25-8 in the 2nd frame and went on to drop their Region 5-AAA opener.

Dorothy Stromdahl fired in 23 points for the Lady Rockets while Marissa Neely contributed 12 points.

Macy Horvath led Hickory with a dozen points, while Jen Neider added 10 markers.

ä Franklin 48, Grove City 31 — At Grove City, the host Lady Eagles ended with just 7 first-half points, which was too much of a deficit to overcome.

Gravatt garnered 12 points and Hager hit for 10 for Franklin, which built a 28-7 bulge by the break before being outscored 24-20 after intermission.

Lexi Caporali connected for 10 tallies for Grove City (0-1, 6-2), which connected for only 8 field goals and converted only 12 of 22 free-throw attempts.

ä Wilmington 54, Lakeview 45 — At Stoneboro, the visiting Lady Hounds hit for 32 second-half points en route to the Region 2-AA road win.

Lakeview led 30-22 at intermission, but the Lady Sailors scored just 15 second-half points.

Haley Marett mustered 14 points for Wilmington (2-0, 6-1) and Julie Burns bucketed 12.

Fawn Miller manufactured a game-high 16 markers to lead Lakeview (0-3, 0-9), but was the Lady Sailors’ lone double-digit scorer.

ä Farrell 74, Rocky Grove 37 — At E. J. McCluskey Gymasium, D’Asia Chambers chucked in a career-high 51 points to stake the Steelerettes (2-0, 4-2) to the Region 1-A rout.

Beach bucketed 13 points for the visiting Lady Orioles.

ä Sharpsville 48, Reynolds 37 — At Transfer, the visiting Blue Darlings dominated the 2nd half by scoring 36 points in the AA tilt.

Reynolds roared to a 9-5 first-quarter lead, but failed to score during the 2nd stanza and trailed 12-9.

Katelyn Scurpa scored a game-high 19 points to spark Sharpsville (2-1, 6-2).

Emily Moroco and Jill Siege scored 12 and 11 points, respectively, for the Lady Raiders (1-2, 2-5).

ä Commodore Perry 35, Jamestown 25 — At Jamestown, the Lady Panthers (1-1, 1-8), who went 0-22 last season, notched their initial win of the new campaign for head coach Bob Messina in a Region 1-A clash.

Marissa Wilkosz led CP with 10 points, while Amanda Buchholz bucketed 10 for Jamestown (0-2, 3-6).
