ADDISON COUNTY — In limited recent local high school girls’ basketball play, Vergennes won big on the road, while Mount Abraham came up short for a second time against Fair Haven, but with a better effort.

Middlebury’s Dec. 23 home game vs. Enosburg was postponed due to poor weather. No make-up date was immediately announced.

COMMODORES

The Commodores rolled to a 74-40 victory at Williamstown on Dec. 23. VUHS led by 16-14 at the end of the first quarter, 31-20 at the half, and pulled away as the third and fourth quarters wore on.

Ava Francis led the Commodores’ balanced scoring effort with 18 points, and Ashtin Stearns (15 points) and Ayla Kittredge (10 points) also reached double figures. Faith McCallister, Amelia Giroux, Summer Gosliga and Georgia Krause chipped in key baskets while the game was still close as the Commodores improved to 2-1.

Julia French and Hannah Spencer each put up 11 points for Williamstown.

EAGLES

On Dec. 22 the Eagles played a stronger game in a rematch with Fair Haven than they had in a home loss; this time they came up short in the Slaters’ gym, 30-22, after losing by 32 points at home.

The Eagles used a deliberate offense and strong defense to slow down the Slaters, and cut their 17-5 halftime lead to eight points entering the fourth quarter, but could come no closer. The win gave the Slaters the championship of their annual holiday tournament; they also defeated Otter Valley in the opening round.

The first game of the evening saw Burr and Burton Academy hold back Otter Valley 42-35.

Fair Haven’s Audrey Perry was named to the tournament MVP, and Eagle Genevieve Forand was named to the All-Tournament Team.
