Cambridge Continues To Roll

It was a perfect storm for the visitors from Cambridge Wednesday night in Schaghticoke.  Over the first eight minutes of play the Lady Indians of the North scored on drives to the rim, jumpers from deep, converted seven of eight from the free throw line, and consistently pounded the offensive glass while defensively turning Hoosic Valley over eight times in the frame.

End result?  A 20-0 run to start things, a 22-4 lead at the end of the quarter, and little doubt the rest of the way regarding the decision that played out as a 54-22 Cambridge victory, their 16th straight to start the season.

Lilly Phillips scored the first seven points of the night for Cambridge on an up and under move, a pair of free throws and a deep triple from the top.

A Fiona Mooney bucket, a 3-ball by Stasia Epler and three free throws by Sophie Phillips stretched the Cambridge lead to 15-0 with 3:18 remianing in the first.

A driving duece by Lilly and a wing triple by Sophie made it 20-0 , before a Sam Lanoue jumper at the 1:19 mark finally got the Valley on the board.

After a two minute dry spell by both squads to start the second frame, a Ruth Nolan steal and score followed by eight points from Lilly on a pair of deep hits, and a drive to the rack, gave the visitors a 32-6 advantage with 3:05 left in the period.

Triples by Sophie and Jaylyn Prouty sandwiched around a Lanoue long ball closed out the quarter as Cambridge took a 38-9 lead into the break.

In the third, after an Ashlyn Chartier score for the Valley, Cambridge went on a 13-2 spurt with Mooney, Prouty and the Phillips twins all tallying in the run.

Hoosic Valley’s Anna Jensen drilled a three to close the frame leaving the final eight minutes for simply details.

Lilly Phillips with 22 points led all scorers on the night with Sophie adding 11 for the 16-0 Indians who continue their roll through the regular season in dominant fashion.

Jensen’s seven points led the way for the Valley who have 10 wins on the season, but on this night were put to bed early by Cambridge.

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

A Look Around The League

After a Regents week where the basketball schedule was a bit lighter for most Wasaren schools, it’s back to a full slate for the upcoming week as teams enter the stretch run of the regular season.

On the girls side of things Cambridge (4-0), Mechanicville (3-0), Greenwich (3-1) and Hoosic Valley (2-2) make up the top half of the league standings.  With only one matchup between Wasaren teams counting towards the standings this year the girls will just play eight league contests.

The Indians of Cambridge at 14-0 overall continue to cruise.  Last night they put together a 45 point first quarter in their win over Berne Knox.  Incredible numbers that included eight triples in the period, and Knox, while not playing the stiffest competition this season, came in with a 10-1 mark.

On the defensive side of the ball, how about Mechanicville holding the Falls to 12 total points in the Raiders 48-12 victory Wednesday night.

Congrats to Mechanicville senior guard Charli Goverski on scoring her 1000th career point in a Tuesday night game against Cobleskill.

The Hoosic Valley girls are on a bit of a roller coaster ride lately.  In their last four league outings they had a nice win over Hoosick Falls, played well in a three point loss to Mechnaicville, then dropped a two-point decision to Spa Catholic, and on Friday night needed a big fourth quarter to post a come-from-behind win over Stillwater.

Greenwich, who’s only league loss came against Mechanicville, will face a big test this Friday night when they travel to Cambridge to take on the Indians.  The two squads met earlier in the year with Cambridge notching a 76-40 victory.

In the boys race Mechanicville (4-0), Stillwater (4-0), Hoosick Falls (3-1), Cambridge (3-1), and Waterford (2-2) make up the top five.

As always a part of those records come down to who have you played and the Red Raiders have just come off games against Hoosick Falls and Waterford with a pair of “W’s”. They’ll face Spa Catholic Tuesday night and will host Stillwater on Thursday.

Stillwater showed their defensive prowess Friday night in holding the Valley to 29 points. The Warriors at 4-0 will be tested this week with games against the Falls and Mechanicville.

Hoosick Falls bounced back after falling to the Raiders last Friday, with a comfortable win over Spa Catholic two nights ago, putting 81 points on the board with just four players hitting the scoring column.

Cambridge has played well of late and will entertain Waterford Tuesday night in what should be an interesting match up.

The Fordians with league losses to front runners Mechanicville and Hoosick Falls are a tough group that can score points in bunches on most nights.

Speaking of scoring, how about the highest scoring tandems in the Wasaren?

For boys teams it would be the Falls duo of Jon Kempf (29.8) and Tristan Williams (16.5) followed by Waterford’s Michael Talavera (23.9) and CJ Kelley (17.3).  The Witches Jesse Kuzmich (19.5) and Alex Curtis (12.7) round out the top three.

Looking for depth of scoring?

The Saints of Saratoga Catholic have five players averaging doubles.  Jordan Catone (14.1), Robbie Bolen (13.6), Anthony Barile (13.5), Ryan McCarroll (10.9), and Hayden Day (10.6) will test opponents every night at the defensive end.

As for girls scoring tandems the Phillips twins lead the way with Sophie scoring 19.0 points nightly and Lilly adding 15.2. followed by Greenwich’s Molly Brophy (21.0), and Adrianna Rojas (12.0), and the Stillwater tandem of Marley Mueller (16.7), and Molly Sheehan (10.3).

Depth of scoring is something the top two girls teams have in common.

Cambridge along with Sophie (19.0) and Lilly (15.2) adds Fiona Mooney at (9.8) and Stasia Epler at (9.5) rounding out a quartet that can put points on the board in a hurry.

Mechanicville’s deep scoring attack boasts Charli Goverski (16.1), Amy DiSiena (7.3), Jada Brown (7.3), Chloe Goverski (6.6) and AJ Joseph (6.5).

So there’s a quick look at a few things on the basketball landscape in the league with a reminder we’ll have three broadcasts this week on Wasaren Sportsnet leading off with Spa Catholic at Mechanicville in a boys run on Tuesday night.
