Big game from a Triad freshman
In the disappointment of a double-overtime defeat on Monday, 64-61 at Riverside, the Triad girls basketball team found a bright spot: the play of 5-foot-7 freshman guard Kelsey Funderburgh.
Funderburgh scored 17 of her team-high 19 points in the second half and overtime.
“She’s learning. She’s still a freshman,” Triad coach Jason Malone said. “She does a lot of good things. She does some things she has to learn from. She’s an athlete. Our kids have embraced her.”
The Cardinals fell to 1-3, but they have more reasons to be proud of their latest loss. They trailed by 16 points midway through the fourth quarter, Malone said,
“We cranked it up on D and outscored them 24-10 in the fourth and got it all square,” Malone said. “It was just a war of attrition after that.”
Riverside made 24 of 35 free throws, and Triad made 13 of 26.
