GIRLS BASKETBALL
Portville 35, Franklinville 24
FRANKLINVILLE, NY – The Portville girls basketball team, playing its second game in as many days, showed no signs of slowing down, taking care of business against Franklinville.
Emily Scanlon led the Panthers with a game-high 12 points. Addison Isaman and Emma Rhinehart scored nine points apiece in the win as well and Quinn Scott filled her stat line out with three points, seven rebounds and three assists.
“Emily Scanlon gained some confidence and found a nice rhythm in the middle two quarters as she scored all 12 of her points in that span,” Portville head coach Inga Welty said. “As a team we did a better job of taking care of the ball and Emma Rhinehart showed patience and leadership at the point position. After last night’s overtime win, I wasn’t sure how tired the girls would be today. Their effort and on-ball pressure was great in the second half. We were happy to get the win and now have a couple days off for much needed rest.”
