BALDWINSVILLE – The snowy roads were not enough to hold back Valley Heights Christian Academy's girls varsity basketball team – who netted their first win of the 2016-2017 season when they defeated Baldwinsville Christian Academy by a dominating score of 45-22.

“We braved the weather to travel to Baldwinsville Christian Academy this evening,” said Valley Heights head coach Sarah Moore. “The ladies played very well together and came out with a 45-22 win.”

The game on Dec. 9, is a triumphant day for Valley Heights who now sits at 1-2 record on the season. Valley Heights wasted no time in their efforts on the scoreboard – posting up a first period score of 15-points. This dominating opening period set the tone for the rest on the contest, as the defense was able to stifle any and all of Baldwinsville's efforts.

With a 15-2 lead after the first period, and a dominating 23-8 lead at the half, a consistent game plan from coach Moore and her team produced an even finish to the game – scoring eight and 14 in the third and fourth periods respectively.

Leading Valley Heights in their effort was Emily Davis, who racked up 18-points on the evening, and successfully becoming the only athlete on the night to hit double digits. Trailing Davis and nearly joining her in double digit scoring was Madison VanAlthuis of Valley Heights who secured 9-points in the game.
