GREENWOOD — The Canisteo-Greenwood girls’ basketball team was hot right off the hop in their return to the hardwood on Friday. After over a week away, they made sure the wait was worth it, as they unleashed a humongous first quarter against host Jasper-Troupsburg and never looked back from it to lock up a 54-25 victory just down the road from home, in Greenwood.
No time was wasted on getting the start that Canisteo-Greenwood (6-0) would deliver with in the opening eight minutes, as they struck all chords on both ends of the floor against the Lady Wildcats behind what was a 21-4 lead that they never looked back from. The team would go on to record a strong outing on defense the rest of the way, holding Jasper-Troupsburg below 10 points in all four quarters to help secure the win.
Leading the charge on the attack for the Lady Redskins was Lillian Mullen, who tallied a game-high 18 points. Brooke Burd followed behind with 11 points of her own, while Bailey Mullen chipped in with seven.
Canisteo-Greenwood will now hit the road for a trip just 10 minutes across the way, as they get set for a colossal meeting of the titans with the LRed Raiders of Hornell after the weekend, beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday.
