Captains Burgess, Gawron lead Saints

Five different players scored over the first eight minutes while Churchville-Chili used 2-2-1 full court pressure to build a 20-8 advantage and they never looked back in a 49-34 girls’ basketball win over Spencerport.

The team’s leading scorer Skylar Burgess scored five points in the second quarter and the Saints limited the Rangers to six points offensively to extend their halftime lead to 18 points.

It expanded to a 47-18 advantage in the third quarter with Gawron netting a pair of field goals and Alyssa Simmons, Sydney Hayden, Paige Shipley, Burgess and Ciara Ortiz all contributing.

Spencerport finally found some offensive spark late in the third quarter with Joie Culkin hitting a field goal with a pair of free throws and Madison Motsay on her drive. The Rangers scored 16 of the final 18 points in the contest, but the deficit was too large to overcome.

Burgess had a game-high 16 points for the Saints with Gawron also in double-figures with ten points. Shipley added six, Simmons five with Hayden and Ortiz each finishing with four points.

Culkin finished with a team-best 12 points for the Rangers while Motsay scored nine. Daionie Davis had five points with Megan Zaharkin and Shea Schleicher each adding four.
