Danville Girls Team Crush Crawfordsville By David Winters The Danville Girls had just one game since the previous publication of The Republican and it was a road trip to Crawfordsville on November 27 to take on the 3-4 Athenians, in a Sagamore Conference match up. The Warriors would seek to avenge their loss to rival Tri-West just 8 days prior. This game was never in doubt as Danville jumped out to a first quarter lead of 18-6. The dominance continued in what was a half of great team play and ball distribution. No player finished with more than six points in the first half, with Haley Ancelet and Cameryn Rector each hitting that mark, and the Warriors took a 29-13 lead into the halftime locker room. The team would put the offensive engine on cruise control in the second half and won this one going away, 54-30, to improve their record to four wins and three losses on the season. Leading Danville in scoring was Ancelet with 16 points while Isabelle Wooten continued her board dominance and hauled in a team-high 18 rebounds. Next up for the Warriors is a home game against Indianapolis Crispus Attucks on December 4 and another home game on December 7 against Greencastle.
