SHERBURNE – A slow start to senior night for Sherburne-Earlville turned into a 46-33 win over Clinton Friday night as four Lady Marauders played on the home floor for the final time of their basketball career.
Jaci Wright, Maria Albertina, Elizabeth Peila and Destinee Posey were recognized prior to the start of the regular season finale for S-E and all four started the game with Tessa Cole.
In the first quarter of play, three of the seniors registered points as the Marauders took a 9-5 lead. Posey paced the team with four points in the stanza. She continued to score in the second as she knocked down a 3-pointer – one of three in the quarter by the home team – before the halftime break.
Posey finished with 15 points, a career-high for the senior on her special night.
Also hitting a 3-point field goal in the second was senior teammate Peila, who finished with seven points on the night.
Wright, who made a free throw in the first quarter, added a basket in the fourth quarter when Sherburne-Earlville extended their lead with a 17-10 run in the final eight minutes of play.
In the third quarter, Albertina recorded her first bucket of the game and all four senior scored at least two points on their special night.
