PHS girls
in the hunt
By Shawn Bates
Jan. 3 the Ladies Clippers hosted an old CSC foe, Cheney Tech, and came out to dismantle the Techsters, 70 -22. That gives the Ladies seven wins on the season. The Clippers were powered by Molly McKeon’s 25 points and Abby St. Martin record a double double and post a career-high 20 points in the home win.
Jan. 4 t the Ladies headed down to Montville to face the Indians. The Ladies would only net 21 points against Montville in the loss 21-40 in the ECC Division IV Contest. On the bright side, the Ladies are only one win away from making the State tournament. They are still in the hunt for first place in their division and 2 overall and 3-1 in the ECC.
