VUHS girls’ basketball splits in postseason

The 7th-seeded Vergennes Union High School girls’ basketball team had little trouble in their first-round Division III playoff game on Feb. 28, defeating visiting No. 10 Winooski, 69-37. But, in a March 1 quarterfinal, the Commodores came up short in what has turned into their annual playoff battle with Windsor.

Members of the MUHS girls’ basketball team chose not to travel to Enosburg Falls High School for a game this past Thursday citing a history of racist harassment of Tiger athletes there.

An 18-point lead for the Eagle girls was not enough to keep the Tigers at bay.
