Holiday Seasoned
The Bishop Canevin Lady Crusaders showed us why they are indeed the # 1 ranked team in the WPIAL AA. It took the Crusaders a little more than 3 minutes to put a handle on a very good Ringgold team yesterday at the CalU Fast Break Club/Blue Star Holiday Hoop Fest at California University of Pennsylvania.
Using full court pressure, a knowledge of the three point line and precision execution, Canevin bolted to a 15-8 lead after one quarter of play. Despite Ringgold settling down a bit in the second, the Rams still trailed by 16 at the half.
It looked as if the Rams were poised to mount a comeback as they went on an 8-2 run to start the third closing to 41-31, but that is as close as Ringgold would get the rest of the game. Canevin closed the quarter on an 11-2 run of their own, putting the Rams away for the rest of this contest.
Final score Canevin 63 - Ringgold 45
Leading scorers:
Canvin- E. Joyce- 16, S. Price- 16, G. Vallecorsa- 13, K. Kaczorowski- 10
Ringgold: A. Briscoe- 14, B. Cooper- 9
The Crusaders are a well coached, smart and a seasoned group, they are looking like a freight train rocketing towards good things in February and March... Question is; can anyone derail them!
