Greene 76, Candor 47

GREENE – Candor gave Greene trouble for one half, then the Trojans unleashed their full offensive arsenal.

The Trojans scored 50 points in the second half, and blew out the Indians in what appeared like a game headed toward a fantastic finish.

Coming off a game the previous weekend where they played their worst third quarter – and led to a loss to Harpursville – the Trojans easily played their best third quarter in a 20-1 campaign. It was especially impressive considering it was a sectional playoff win over a team with a winning record. “I felt that we were too good of a team to continue to miss the shots we were missing in the first half,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “By the same token, I never thought we would shoot as well as a we did in the third quarter.”

After giving up the initial hoop of the third stanza to fall behind 28-26, the Trojans embarked on a 25-4 run. Barb Borst scored 14 during the quarter including a pair of three-pointers, while Megan McDermott had nine in the stanza. Most of McDermott’s points came off the offensive glass, and she finished with six offensive rebounds for the game.
