Tonight at Genesee Community College, the first round of the Batavia Rotary Club’s Girls Basketball Tournament will take place beginning at 6:00 pm. The first round matchups this year will be Notre Dame vs Attica, and Batavia vs Cal-Mum – which should provide for some interesting drama as neither Cal-Mum and Attica have participated in the tournament for over ten years and both should be raring to go come tip-off tonight.
Here is a short preview of tonight’s action:
Attica vs Notre Dame
Key Players
Rebecca Krenzer - Notre Dame
Kierra Perl - Attica
Outlook
Although the Irish and Devils have yet to square-off this season, each side will enter this game knowing full well what the other brings to the table – being league opponents. However, with that being said I expect a great game tonight that should be competitive throughout. All that being said, I do believe the Irish will come out on top and advance to face the winner of Batavia and Cal-Mum.
Prediction
Notre Dame 46 Attica 40
Batavia vs Cal-Mum
Key Players
Madison McCulley and Tiara Filbert - Batavia
Gill Flint - Cal-Mum
Outlook
Although Cal-Mum is highly talented with plenty of solid athletes at each position, their ability to put the ball in the basket has been rather suspect this season – with no game proving this fact more than the Raiders game vs Le Roy two nights ago. In said game, the Raiders simply could night find the basket for much of the second and third quarter. If that happens tonight, Batavia – who scored 71 points the other night vs Sutherland – might run away with this one.
Prediction
Batavia 60 Cal-Mum 52
