Written by: Bruce Badgley on February 12, 2021
The Girls / Boys doubleheader is really coming into fashion in District 3. With the finish line of the regular season in sight, more and more schools are finding these double headers a fun way to get through a tough part of this season. Thursday night at Township the Warwick and Blue Streak girls renewed the Rivalry 501. A tough first half of action was followed by an intense second half battle. Regulation was not enough to settle this one. Warwick (4-4) made the plays and its free throws in the extra period to come away with an overtime 36-26 victory over Manheim Twp.(6-6).
Lady Warrior Lauren Pyle had a game high 13 points. Gianna Smith, who hit a three pointer to send the game to OT and Missy Welch each had 7 for Township.
