Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brookville). They breezed past the Union Knights/Damsels to the tune of 57-22 on Thursday. Given the Raiders' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 328th, while the Knights/Damsels are ranked 664th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Brookville got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Whitney Guth out in front who dropped a double-double with ten points and 14 boards. Those 14 rebounds gave Guth a new career-high. Samantha Whitling was another key player, going 5-for-12 en route to 12 points and three steals.
Brookville smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 24 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds every time they've taken the court this season.
Maddy Dehart and Kya Wetzel certainly did their best on Thursday to avoid the loss. Dehart posted seven points in addition to nine boards and four steals, while Wetzel earned five points and six rebounds. Dehart has been hot, having posted two or more steals the last five times she's played.
Brookville is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 10-6 record this season. As for Union, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-12.
