GIRLS BASKETBALL
Chambersburg 32, Central Dauphin East 31, OT: In a game ruled by the defenses, the Trojans pulled out a victory over the Panthers in overtime Wednesday night at CASHS Field House in a Mid Penn Commonwealth game.

T.T. Kelly

“The girls have not had many, if any, games like this, where we have come out on the winning side in overtime,” Chambersburg coach Jamiur King said. “We are learning game by game.”

The Trojans (4-7, 2-3 MPC) were outscored by CD East 7-2 in the fourth quarter to take the game to overtime. But in OT, T.T. Kelly scored a basket and Emily Forrester made 2 of 4 free throws and that was just enough to hold off the Panthers (3-6, 2-4 MPC).

Kelly scored 10 points to lead Chambersburg, while Forrester had 8 and Ella Parker 6.

“T.T. has really been great for us these past few games,” King said. “She gives us such a spark off the bench.

“It was a great conference win for us. All the girls contributed. We are learning the importance of valuing the basketball, and we are competing on every possession.”

The Trojans made only 3 of 15 free throws, while East sank 11 of 21.

BOYS BASKETBALL
Chambersburg 65, Central Dauphin East 50: The Trojans outscored the Panthers 19-7 in the decisive third quarter to pick up a Mid Penn Commonwealth victory on the road Wednesday evening.

Landon Buhrman

“We didn’t play with much toughness or intelligence in the first half,” Chambersburg coach Shawn Shreffler said. “CD East played much better and we didn’t handle life on the road very well at all.”

CD East (2-7, 1-4 MPC) held a 31-29 lead at halftime and still led 35-33 early in the third period. After Jermere Jones made 1 of 2 free throws, a layup by Landon Buhrman gave the Trojans the lead, only to have East go back ahead 38-36 on a drive and a free throw.

But Chambersburg scored the final 12 points of the quarter to lead 48-38 after three periods.

Buhrman tied it with a heavily-defended reverse layup, Ari Snyder popped in a 3-pointer, a pass from J.J. Kelly to Buhrman on a fast break made it 43-38, Jones made a pair of free throws and Stanley Lozius capped it off with a 3-pointer with a couple of seconds left on the clock.

Shreffler said, “We were able to respond with much greater urgency in the second half and were able to get more buckets in the paint, while also being tougher at both ends of the floor. This was a great test for us.”

Jones scored 15 of his 23 points — a career high — in the second half. Buhrman had 10 of his 12 points in the second half. Colton Cornwell added 9 points and Kelly was held to 8 — his lowest point total of the season by 6.

“We got a great lift from Aden (Swatsburg) and Stan and their ability to play through contact,” Shreffler said. “Jermere and Landon were efficient around the basket and Ari, J.J. and Colton did well at handling the pressure and getting us into a more efficient offense.”
