Avon guard Sophie Mango had a team-high 15 points in Tuesday’s OT loss to Farmington.
FARMINGTON, Jan. 25, 2022 – For three quarters, the Avon High girls basketball team had the lead over Farmington in Tuesday night’s CCC West contest.
“The girls played fantastic, definitely the best we’ve played all season,” Avon High coach Drew Faucher said. “They played with tremendous passion.”
But Farmington’s Daria Fournier scored seven points in the fourth quarter and another seven points in overtime as the River Hawks rallied to beat Avon, 50-42 in OT. Fournier scored 14 of her game-high 19 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.
“Even though we didn’t get the W, I couldn’t be more prouder of the effort and the way we played,” Faucher said.
Farmington (10-3) won for the seventh time in the last eight games while Avon (2-8) didn’t play like a team with just two wins through the first half of the season.
Sophie Mango had a team-leading 15 points for the Falcons while Ali Standish added 10. For the River Hawks, Mackenzie Campbell had 11 points including four in OT when the River Hawks outscored Avon by a 10-2 margin to secure the win.
