WARE – The Ware High School girls’ basketball team opened with a 21-2 lead at the end of the first quarter, and never looked back in a game against Southwick-Tolland Tuesday. The Rams lost 43-25.
“Southwick came out very flat,” Rams assistant coach Rick Harriman said, following a matchup of 9-2 teams. “Ware was on fire after that.”
The two teams were virtually deadlocked after the opening quarter. Southwick actually outscored Ware, 23-22, over the final 24 minutes.
“It was a close game (after Ware’s big opening run),” Hariman said, “but Southwick couldn’t close the gap.”
Ashley Shea scored a team-high six points for the Rams.
