As a result Valley Tech made 22 two- point baskets — with the vast majority of them coming from inside eight feet — en route to a 50-29 victory over the Minutemen. “It’s always a focus for us. We have really strong post players,” Valley Tech head coach Brit Kahler said of getting the ball inside to the bigs. “We can always take an outside shot, so if we can get it in and then pass it back out we get more open looks.” The Beavers led, 20-4, after the initial eight-minute quarter and never looked Bay Path’s Savannah Vangel catches a pass back.

BY KEN POWERS SPORTS CORRESPONDENT UXBRIDGE — Alexa Dufries scored a team-high 13 points, nine coming on three second half 3-pointers, to help lead the Leicester High girls’ varsity basketball team past Uxbridge High, 47-43, on Thursday, Jan. 18. Dufries, a freshman, hit two of those 3’s during an 84-second span of the fourth quarter to give her team some breathing room on the score- board, each time turning a two-point lead into a five- point advantage. The first 3-pointer from Dufries came from the top of the arc and pushed what was a 41-39 lead to a 44-39 advan- tage with 3:41 left in the game. Uxbridge’s Sarah Johnston (12 points) answered Dufries’ three with one of her own to pull the Spartans back to within two, 44-42, with 2:38 remaining. Dufries then answered Johnston’s triple with a trey, this one from the left wing, to extend the Leicester lead back to five, 47-42, with 2:17 to play. With 19 seconds to play Uxbridge’s Olivia Hicks (a game-high 21 points) hit one of two free throws to account for the 47-43 final score. “I like shooting the 3,” the Olivia Hicks of Uxbridge drives on Leicester defender Jenna Soden. soft-spoken Dufries said after the game. “If I have time to set my feet and square up to Mathew S. Plamondon photos the basket I feel like I’ve got Uxbridge’s Brenna Neill reaches up to grab a rebound versus Leicester. a pretty good chance to make the shot. On both of those shots I had time to set my feet and square up, so I actu- ally thought both shots were going in.” Dufries said the juncture of the game — less than four minutes remaining — and the fact that the Wolverines were only up by two points both times, did not make her ner- vous. “I’m comfortable shooting the 3 no matter what part of the game we’re in,” said Dufries, who is averaging 10 points a game. All of that comfort comes from playing for Dave Padavano, Leicester’s first- year head coach, who encour- ages all of his players to shoot early and often. “Alexa has the green light to shoot in those situations; all my players do,” Padavano explained. “There’s no such thing as a bad shot. If we’re open we’re going to shoot the ball. Those were two big 3’s. Our starting point guard [Madison Hippert] was on the bench most of the second half with an injury and Alexa — a freshman — steps up and delivers for us.” After the teams played to Sarah Johnston of Uxbridge tips the ball up in an effort to gain a rebound a 9-9 tie in the first quarter on Leicester’s Caitlin Kemp. Leicester (5-3, 3-1 in SWCL B play) trailed by four, 20-16, at halftime. “We struggled in the first half; we had trouble getting Uxbridge’s Sarah Johnston is able to release a shot before Leicester’s going,” Dufries said. “In the Caitlin Kemp can block it. second half we stepped up and showed what we could do.
