Governor Mifflin Girls No Trouble With Dallastown 49-28 In District 3 Opener

Written by: Bruce Badgley on March 2, 2021

(Shillington) “Connecting the dots” between the Governor Mifflin -Dallastown District opener looked much closer than a 5 -12 seed matchup. Both teams had common opponents and faced tough in conference schedules. Governor Mifflin started out like the higher seeded team and played that way the entire game. Mifflin bolted out to a first quarter lead and never looked back defeating Dallastown 49-28.

Stella Mollica who is closing in on the 1,000 point milestone finished with 19 points to lead Mifflin. Stella will need 8 points against Ephrata on Thursday to reach 1,000 points for her career. Bria Beverly closed out her career at Dallastown with a 12 point game for the Wildcats.

The first quarter was indicative on how this game would go. Hot shooting Mifflin kept on the pressure. Dallastown had a tough time getting any shot to go through the hoop.
