The varsity girls' basketball team pulled out a tough 45-34 victory over JFK last night. The girls were in complete control in the first half as they took a 17-point lead into the locker room. Unfortunately, JFK went on a huge run, and the Griffs saw their lead go from 17 points down to 1 point. The team displayed their toughness and resilience as they put the clamps on defensively and hit some timely shots. Dani Oakley hit two HUGE three pointers to give the girls a 7-point lead going into the 4th quarter. The lead would drop to 3 points, but that was as close as JFK would get. Bella Sullivan hit a runner, Kelcie Illig attacked the paint and finished, Aubrey Roy had a strong post move and was fouled, and Leah Franklin had a big offensive rebound and out back. Scorers on the night were:
Dani Oakley- 13 points
Bella Sullivan- 12 points
Kelcie Illig- 6 points
Aubrey Roy- 6 points
Leah Franklin- 6 points
Brooks Ruzycki- 2 points

That quarter saw Dani Oakley bury three three-pointers and a total of 13 points alone. The girls didn't have quite as much success in the second quarter, but that all changed when they started the second half. The Griff's dominated the quarter and took great pride in their team defense, outscoring the Timberwolves 18-0. That quarter saw some stellar defensive play from Bella Sullivan and Lilly Enser. The big story of the game was one Dani Oakley. She was a machine on offense, burying 6 three-pointers and scoring a career-high 35 points!! Other scorers on the night included:
Lilly Enser- 2 points
Bella Sullivan- 4 points
Leah Franklin- 4 points
Aubrey Roy- 4 points
The girls are now 8-2 overall and 7-0 in league. One final note: The Lady Griffs popped up at #10 in small schools in WNY. A tremendous honor for a deserving team! The girls are back in action on Thursday night when they travel to Eden.
