High schools: Nora Young leads Granby past Mount Greylock

The Granby girls basketball team jumped on Mount Greylock in the first then weathered a third-quarter letdown to roll into the Western Massachusetts Division 3 Tournament quarterfinals.

Nora Young had 30 points as the sixth-seeded Rams advanced through the first round with a 57-35 win over the No. 11 Mounties, Monday in Granby.

Kaeleigh Croteau hit four 3-pointers and scored all her 14 points in the first half as Granby took a 34-9 halftime lead. Young added 16 points, fighting through constant double and triple teams in the first half, but it wasn’t just those two seniors.

Classmate Julia Frappier was a force inside on both ends as Granby took control

“We really played a great first half,” Granby coach Tom Burke said. “Julia Frappier, who did not score, in the first half had nine rebounds, five offensive. … We were really aggressive and kids were getting after rebounds. We didn’t give them one offensive rebound.”

Greylock outscored the Rams 17-3 in the third quarter to pull within 37-26 entering the final quarter. However, Young buried 3-pointers on the Rams’ first two possessions to quash any momentum Greylock (10-11) was building.

“They made a good run at us,” Burke said.

Granby will play at No. 3 Hoosac Valley (14-6) at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Ware 42, Gateway Regional 17 — Peyton Bucko had six points and Grace Van Buren added five for the 15th-seeded Gators (10-11), who fell on the road to the second-seeded Indians (16-5) in the first round of the Division 4 tournament.
