GIRLS BASKETBALL
Northern York 49, Greencastle-Antrim 37: The Polar Bears held the Blue Devils to just 23% shooting from the field Friday night in a non-league game in Dillsburg.

Northern (5-0, 2-0 MPC) led by 1 point at halftime, but outscored G-A 15-9 in the third quarter and pulled away.

“Our shooting troubles finally caught up with us late in the third quarter,” Greencastle coach Scott McKeever said, “and we saw a nip-and-tuck road game slowly slip away. We weren’t able to close the gap in the fourth quarter.”

The Blue Devils (3-3, 0-2 MPC) hit only 1 of 8 attempts from 3-point range.

Kiersten Swain scored 13 points for Greencastle. Ellie Bigler had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals and Callie Izer had 7 points, 5 boards and 4 assists. Sophie Fries had 6 rebounds and 3 steals.

Mackenna Bonner led Northern with 18 points.
