Varsity girls hoops team crushes Burr Oak

by Eva Gucker

After a physical game, Pittsford scored a season-high 70 points, cruising to a 70-33 win against Burr Oak on Tuesday, February 3. This was a different game than Pittsford was used to, even compared to the first game versus Burr Oak. With their full-court press being successful, Pittsford was able to score six points easily in the first minute. This success continued through the first quarter, with many steals and good offense from Pittsford. Moving into the second quarter, Pittsford dropped their press and struggled to make defensive stops that should have been no difficulty for them. Burr Oak was able to cut through the Pittsford defense too easily. “We had big gaps on defense,” said junior Katie Stiver. On the offensive end Pittsford dealt with brutality, which stopped them from some scoring opportunities. The fouling continued the rest of the game, which led to the ejection of one Burr Oak player and the fouling-out of another. Senior Marisa Hamilton had 26 points of her own and eight steals. Brittney Houser led with 10 rebounds.
