Varsity girls basketball ruins Tekon celebration with blowout victory

by Eva Gucker

Pittsford had a similar game against Tekonsha as they did the first time they played them, with great defense and good offensive ball movement, winning 48-24. This being T-kon’s own “Snow-coming,” the Wildcats knew that they needed to be prepared for the Indians’ excitement.

The Ladycats had a great start, putting pressure full-court on the Indians and allowing almost no gaps for the opposition to penetrate or pass. “Defensively we had a strong game, and that helped out a lot of the offense side, too,” said junior Katelyn Kipfmiller. Pittsford held Tekonsha to a 16-2 lead in the first quarter, and improved to a 24-6 lead at half time.

Pittsford’s intensity continued through out the game as great defense was a main contributor to the Wildcats’ success. Pittsford was also able to capitalize on Tekonsha’s zone defense that gave them a lot of opportunity to slip behind their defense and score.

Katelyn was the game’s lead scorer with 14 points and senior Marisa Hamilton led Pittsford in rebounding with 7.
