Middletown 62, Greencastle-Antrim 36: The Blue Devils had trouble playing the Blue Raiders — the No. 2 team in Class 5A in District 3 — and dropped a Mid Penn Colonial contest on the road Tuesday night.

“We kept it close in the first half, even though they made it difficult to run our offense,” G-A coach Scott McKeever said. “In the second half they had a couple of big runs that made it hard to get back in it. The girls never quit and I am proud of the way they compete.”

Kiersten Swain scored 8 points for Greencastle (5-8, 3-5 MPC). Liv Carey and Ellie Bigler each added 7 points, while Sophie Fries grabbed 8 rebounds and Bigler also had 4 boards and 2 steals.

For the Blue Raiders (13-0, 8-0 MPC), Jayla Koser led the way with 18 points.
