Local Roundup
The last thing South Adams needed was to meet up with an angry Manchester team. But, after opening 11-3 the Manchester Squires had lost back-to-back games for the first time all year and took their frustrations out on the Starfires Monday night.
The South Adams (3-15) girls basketball team was in the game for a quarter before Manchester pulled away for a 61-38 victory.
The Starfires took an 11-7 lead after the first period, but Manchester outscored them 43-21 over the next two quarters to take command of the game.
Kelly Mertz was the lone South Adams player in double figures as she finished with 10 points. She also grabbed four rebounds.
Erin McCollum had six points, and Natalie Haines and Britany Moser each added five. Julie Muhlenkamp grabbed eight rebounds, and Kindle Inniger added three assists and three steals.
Brit Bager paced Manchester with 19 points, and Christa Deden added 10. Libby Pattison and Andrea Siebrase each had nine points, and Holly Vogel scored eight points.
South Adams will try to end its five-game losing streak when it hosts Bellmont Friday at 6 p.m.
