Gowanda Small Town Times

On February 10 the Gowanda Varsity girls basketball team was at Portville.

It was another tough game for the Gowanda girls. They were down 10-2 early in the 1st quarter and their offense never really got going. Despite a minor rally late in the period, they were still down 13-8 going into the 2nd quarter. Gowanda was totally ineffective in the 2nd quarter falling to 28-8. Then, at the end of that period, Gao:Wisa:S “Wassy” Stevens put five points on the Gowanda ledger. The last three of those came on a shot from the right side of mid-court at the buzzer.

Down 28-13 heading into the second half, things didn’t get better. Gowanda struggled to come up with 6 points while Portville added another 15 to their tally. With the game well out of reach to start the final quarter Portville was content to coast to the final buzzer. It would be Portville’s only quarter to fall short of double digits with just 8 points. Although Chloe Luther hit a 3-pointer in that period, Gowanda still only totaled six points as a team for the quarter. That left the final score at 51-25.

Crissa Scanlan had 10 points to lead Gowanda. Close behind, Gao:Wisa:S Stevens had 9. Also with one or more points for Gowanda were Chloe Luther, Lily Scanlan and Christina Wilder.
