Junior A

As Thanksgiving approaches, the girls made sure they didn't have a turkey of a game and came out firing on all cylinders.

Playing an exuberant Schenectady squad, Guilderland jumped to an early lead and never looked back. The Dutch turned in one of the most complete games of the season, playing great on both ends of the court.

The loud cheering of Guilderland’s injured and sick teammates, Jessica Fiori and Skye Lindsay, and fill-in assistant coach, Coach MJ, inspired the girls to their largest margin of victory of the year, 53 to 19.

Morgan Kieley led all scorers with 14 points for Guilderland while playing her usual tenacious defense, followed closely by Rachel Mastrianni with 12 points and three key steals. Cloe Bonavita was a big inside presence with many key rebounds and 10 points. Lauryn Stewart proved to be an inside and outside threat with seven points, including the game’s only three-pointer.

Guilderland is looking forward to the holiday break, getting refreshed and ready for the heart of the schedule coming up.
