SOUTHWICK – Katelyn Sylvia and Ashley Shea scored six points apiece to lead the Southwick-Tolland Regional High School girls’ basketball team to another victory.
Southwick overcame a slow start with a smothering defensive effort. The Rams bottled up Smith Academy in a 34-11 win Thursday night to improve to 8-2 overall.
“The team was very flat in the first half, but they picked it up in the second half and put the game away,” Southwick assistant coach Rick Harriman said of his Rams’ squad. “Our defensive effort completely shut Smith Academy down.”
