Burlington — The Mount Pleasant girls’ basketball team will aim for back-to-back wins for the first time this season tonight when they battle DeDe Warner’s Burlington Grayhounds.
The Panthers are coming off their most dominant victory of the season last Friday when they beat Washington 61-32.
Andrea Lopreato scored 31 points in Friday’s win and set the school record for points in a single game with 37 last year against Burlington.
The junior is up to 18.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.
Perhaps making the biggest jump for Curt Watson’s group has been the steady play of senior guard Kenna Lamm.
Lamm is second on the team in scoring at just under 13.0 points per game. She’s connecting on 33% of her three-point shots and is primarily tasked with guarding the other teams’ best player.
Tonight, that means going “mano y mano” with Burlington guard Alexis Standard.
Standard is scoring 13.7 points per game for the Grayhounds despite their 0-6 start.
Mount Pleasant has won three straight over the Grayhounds.
Tonight’s game will tip at 7:30 p.m. in Burlington.
