Lily Jordan scores 18 to lead MHS girls’ hoops past Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT — Lily Jordan scored 18 points and connected on 9 of 11 from the field to lead the Morgantown High girls’ basketball team to a 69-25 victory against Bridgeport on Saturday.

“Our defensive effort was great tonight,” MHS head coach Jason White said. “Really love how unselfish this team is playing. The best thing about this team is it’s depth. So great to see the kids coming out of the game truly pulling for the person who just replaced them.”

Mia Henkins added 12 points on four 3-pointers and Kerrington Peasak added seven rebounds for the Mohigans, who came away with a 42-20 advantage on the boards.

MHS led 39-15 at the half and Bridgeport was held to just 24.3% (9 of 37) shooting for the game.

Aleksandra Wassick added six points and six assists for MHS (4-0), which hosts Trinity at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Gabrielle Reep led Bridgeport with 15 points.
