Hornell 60, Avon 31
Hornell had an impressive win over Avon as Jordyn Dyring had a game-high 19 points with 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 assist.

Alivia Ryder – 4 rebounds, 1 point
“I don’t think the final score reflects how the game felt for anyone who was in the gym tonight.,” said Hornell coach Jim Dagon. “Avon came to compete and they deserve a ton of credit. Their girls competed hard for all 32 minutes and made us earn everything we got.”
Dagon added, “Tonight wasn’t our best, but that’s early December basketball, some inconsistency is expected. Our focus now is having a great practice tomorrow. That’s it. We want to be better tomorrow than we were today, and that remains our goal regardless of the outcome on the scoreboard.”
