CLAYTON – Putting in a strong fight, the Lady Marauders took on the fifth-seeded teams from Thousand Islands on Friday night for a first round Section III contest. Sherburne-Earlville, however, fell by a final of 58-42 to bring their 2019-2020 season to a close.

S-E senior Elizabeth Pelia, a transfer student in her only season with the Marauders girls basketball team, finished her career with a double-double as she pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds and scored 12 points.

Teammate and Sherburne-Earlville’s leading scorer for the year Tessa Cole led all scorers with 24 points, hitting one 3-point field and doing most of her damage from the free throw line. Cole went 11-for-12 at the charity stripe (91.7 percent) to score nearly half of her points.
