Gowanda Girls Season Winds Down

The Gowanda Varsity girls basketball team hosted Frewsburg on February 5. It was another long night for the girls as a lack of offense and excessive turnovers made for a game that got out of hand quickly. Frewsburg had already piled up a fast 11-0 lead before Lauren Kelly scored Gowanda’s first two points. Three baskets from Corrina John followed by a Lily Scanlan 3-pointer allowed Gowanda to narrow the gap to 5 points at 12-17. A 10-point Frewsburg run from there gave them a 27-12 advantage as the 1st Quarter ended. It would be Gowanda’s only period scoring in double-digits. Frewsburg, meanwhile, averaged 18 points per quarter the rest of the way. That led to a 45-20 score at half time and a 81-31 final score.
Once again the bulk of the Gowanda offense was placed on Corrina John who landed a pair of 3-pointers and totaled 15 points in the game. Lauren Kelly contributed 11 points. The remaining Gowanda points came from the Scanlan 3-pointer plus two points from Karice John.
