BATAVIA – Led by Faith Cottrell, the Clinton-Massie girls basketball team won its first SBAAC American Division game of the season Monday with a 61-34 defeat of Batavia.

The Lady Falcons are now 3-8 overall and 1-3 in the conference.

“We played very well at the defensive end of the floor,” CM coach Tim McGraw said. “We forced them into a lot of mistakes that led to some easy transition baskets for us.”

Cottrell buried a couple of three-pointers en route to a 22-point night for Massie. She finished with her four straight double-double – double figures in points and rebounds.

“Faith continues her strong play,” McGraw said.

The Lady Falcons outscored the Lady Bulldogs 37-11 in the middle two quarters, breaking open a close game at the start.

“It was nice to have a game where we put everything together and everyone contributed,” said McGraw.
