Lady Panthers Win Sectional First Round
by Bea Peterson
In a very close game Hoosick Falls won the first round of the Class B Sectionals. Ninth seed HF defeated eighth seed Greenville Tuesday night, February 22, by a score of 43-41. In the first quarter the score was 11-10 HF. The Panthers led 21-17 at the half. The game was tied up 28 all at the end of the third and very close all through the fourth quarter. A three-pointer by Nicole Marmillo with under two minutes remaining cinched the deal for HF. High scorer for HF was Frankie Pearson with 16 points. The team is now 9-10 for the season.
On Friday they will play number one seed Maple Hill.
