The Cambridge girls have done many things well this basketball season on both sides of the ball. Turn teams over defensively, rebound and obviously score the ball with deep shooting prowess, but the most consistent thing the Indians have done thus far is put a number in the win column at game’s end.
Twelve times the ball’s gone up for Cambridge this year, and at the end of the run they’ve walked off with a “W” the last coming Thursday night in a 67-41 decision over Greenwich. Continue reading
While the girls from Cambridge and Tamarac have led the way thus far in the Wasaren, the Red Raiders of Mechanicville are a squad that can play with anyone. An athletic team with a number of legitimate scorers, the Raider can hurt opponents with transition buckets at the rim or knock down triples from behind the arc.
Mechanicville’s offensive prowess was on display Wednesday night in rolling over Waterford 72-30. Continue reading
One-sided affairs were the theme Tuesday night in the Wasaren with just one boys run decided by less than 28 points.

Here’s how things played out last night across the Wasaren.

Sophie Phillips drove to the paint and scored on a teardrop with 0:07 remaining giving the Indians a 44-42 victory over Tamarac in a battle between the Wasaren’s top squads.
Both teams entered with perfect league marks and the host Bengals ran out to a 14-7 lead after one, only to see the Indians battle back to take a 25-24 advantage into the break.
A 10-5 third period gave the lead back to Tamarac setting up the Cambridge comeback over the final eight minutes highlighted by Phillips game-winning deuce.
Freshman Fiona Mooney led all scorers with 17 points for Cambridge while Phillips finished with 13 points for the Indians who improve to 10-0 on the season with the “W”.
Tamarac, (9-2), was led by Emily Erickson and Renna Poulin who each netted 13 points on the night.
Congratulations to Hoosick Falls Logan Thayne on being named Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.
On Wednesday in a home victory over Stillwater Logan bottomed 3 triples and converted 8 of 8 from the foul line part of a 33 point effort in the 58-38 “W” over the Warriors.
At Berlin on Friday night the high-scoring sophomore dropped 22 points, including a pair of 3-pointers in the Panthers 60-33 win over the Mountaineers.
