A last-half comeback by the Voorheesville girls was not enough to make up for their slow start against Watervliet on Tuesday night. The Birds were down by as many as 20 points but, after halftime, they came out firing on all cylinders. The large deficit, though, was too much for the Birds to overcome; they fell, 60 to 55.
