M’burg tops Triad

MECHANICSBURG – Mikayla Dodane scored a game-high 26 points and surpassed 1,000 points for her prep career as Mechanicsburg defeated Triad, 66-31, in OHC girls basketball on Saturday.

The Indians led, 16-12, at the end of the first quarter and used a 22-2 run in the second quarter to take a 38-14 lead at the half.

“Really, in a lot of ways, this game summarized our season,” said Triad Coach Jeff Merklin. “We had moments where we were really good at the beginning of the game, and we competed very well. But our inexperience against changing, pressure defenses really showed. We give up way too many points off of our offense, which does happen when you make 36 turnovers.

For the Indians, Kasey Schipfer had 15 points and Morgan Hamby had 12 points and 7 rebounds.

MaKenzie Cauley and Tori Thomas led the Cardinals (4-18, 3-10) with 8 points each and Kendell Hughes chipped in 7.
