Seton Keough's Singletary comes up big

The heart to win a high school championship usually comes from a team's seniors and it was no different in last night's IAAM A Conference final. Seton Keough's seniors led their team in putting on a show in a surprisingly lopsided win that ended a six-year title run by St. Frances.

But as good as Asya Bussie, Katelyn Fischer and Carly Read were, one youngster made sure everyone knew there would be something to come back for next season. If you didn't know better, you might have guessed that Amber Singletary was a senior, too, with all the big plays she made.

But Singletary is a sophomore. She had 17 points last night -- second only to Bussie. Even more important, two of her shots came at one of the most critical points, a moment when St. Frances looked as if it was ready to rally from 15 points down midway through the third quarter.

Singletary, a quick, versatile 5-foot-9 guard, threw water on the Panthers' flames when she hit back-to-back three-pointers that sent St. Frances to a 17-point deficit.

Those were some pretty big shots for a sophomore, but Singletary has shown that poise in some other games and we can only wait to see what she does next year.
