A grand finale (Bethlehem @ Troy, 3/7/21)

 Troy High needed a strong, momentum building performance against a perennial nemesis in Bethlehem in today's home finale at Zotto Memorial Gym, what with the Suburban Council tournament starting tomorrow. The Flying Horses got that performance, building upon the improvements in Friday's loss to Shaker.

Senior star Jenalyse Alarcon became the 2nd player in as many days to crack the 1,000 point barrier for her career, following Meghan Huerter of Shenendehowa yesterday. Alarcon was one of three players to hit double figures for Troy as they had to battle back from behind to defeat the Eagles, 55-53. Troy had let a 10 point 1st quarter lead whittle down to 4 at halftime, then watched Bethlehem go on an 18-8 run in the 3rd quarter to take a 6 point lead into the final frame. Troy then outscored the Eagles, 20-12, in the final frame, thanks in large part to Alarcon's work on both sides of the ball.
