Corinth — Corinth Varsity Girls Basketball Team is now 18-0 as they head into playoffs for the Adirondack League. They defeated Lake George 65-18 on Feb. 6, with senior Maddie DeLisle scoring 36 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, and 4 steals to hit the 1,000-point club.
Also contributing to the Tomahawks win was Emily Dingmon with 11 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Alexis Crossman had 5 steals, and Olivia Mann recorded 5 assists. Leading the offense for the Warriors was Mykah Fisher with 13 points.
Maddie DeLisle joined the varsity basketball team as a freshman. With a shortened season last year playing only seven games, she has scored 1,000 points in just over three years.
“She has always been a phenomenal shooter, but hasn’t always been the player who looks for her shot first. She sees the court so well, and often looks to pass before she shoots,” said Varsity Head Coach Kelly Hoertkorn. “She started scoring more about a month ago just getting out in our transition and finding herself open. She is such a great shooter that if left open for a second, she can knock down the shot. She makes a three-pointer like it’s a lay-up.”
“I’ve worked with Maddie for a long time, and always knew this was something she was more than capable of accomplishing,” added Hoertkorn. “She is just a great player to coach, teammate, and leader.
The Lady Tomahawks are first in the Adirondack League, with crossover games and championships scheduled for this week/weekend. NYSPHSAA Section II Playoffs will begin on Thursday, Feb. 17 with Prelims for Class B and Class C schools.
