Varsity girls basketball team picks up second straight blowout victory

by Eva Gucker

Pittsford was able to stay focused and perform well against Litchfield and pull out another huge win, 61-16, on January 26. Pittsford had an offensive burst, scoring 24 points in the first quarter. Through ball movement and open gaps given by the Terriers, Pittsford was very successful against Litchfield’s zone defense. Litchfield was unable to handle the press given by the Wildcats and turned the ball over many times. When Pittsford fell back into a half-court defense, they held the Terriers to just 6 points at halftime. Pittsford led by 40 early in the third quarter which led to a running clock for the rest of the game. “We were able to stay focused even though it was against a (struggling) team,” said junior Alexis Cramer. Junior Katelyn Kipfmiller led the Ladycats in scoring with 20 points. Junior Katie Stiver followed with 13 points of her own, and junior Ashley Buckner had nine rebounds.
