Junior forward, Cam Rust poured in 24 points and grabbed a team high 15 rebounds in the 60-50 win over Marianapolis. Kailee McDonald ’24 added 21 points and recent St. Francis, NY commit, Alexandra Eldredge ’23 scored 10 on the afternoon. Saturday’s win over Hoosac saw 3 Hilltoppers score in double-digits as the hometown team was never pushed in this contest.

Boys’ Varsity 2 basketball squeezed a tight, winnable contest on Wednesday against St. Thomas More School (46-41 loss) around a pair of lopsided contests (loses to Cushing and the Gann School) as they look for some consistency on both ends of the floor.
