Olivia Barnes had a huge night for the Witches pouring in 27 points to go with 18 rebounds to lead Greenwich who improves to 8-8 on the season with the “W”.

Mayfield (9-9), was paced by Sydney Sheldon with 18 points, and Camryn Meca who added 12 points on four makes from behind the arc.

Congratulations to Mechanicville’s Julia Amedeo on being named the Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.

In her last three outings Julia scored 17 points in a win at Waterford, tallied 12 points in a home “W” over Cambridge, and exploded for 23 points in a road victory over Greenwich on Friday night.

The senior Raider, averaging just under 10 points per contest, has scored 67 points in her last four games and is a big reason why Mechanicville is enjoying a fine season at 10-4 in league play.

Congratulations to Julia, our newest Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.
