In last night’s 71-56 win for the No. 1 St. Frances girls basketball team over its top Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland rival, No. 4 Seton Keough, there were so many impressive aspects that one thing got a bit lost in the shuffle – the free-throw shooting.
The two teams combined to go 33-for-37 from the line. The Panthers hit 14 of 16 while the Gators hit 19 of 21.
The real star from the line was the Gators 6-foot-4 senior center Asya Bussie, who went 15-for-16 from the line. Bussie finished with 19 points thanks to taking advantage of the chances the Pathers gave her.
