The Batavia girls basketball team is not getting any votes in the New York State Sportswriters poll or the Democrat & Chronicle poll.
But after Brittany Wormley had a career night, leading the Blue Devils to a 46-34 win over Eastridge in a Monroe County League game. The win means Batavia is now 9-1, and would be shocked to not be ranked in the next state poll.
But Friday night was all about Wormley.
The junior guard couldn't miss. She scored a career-high 20 points, with 18 of them coming on jump shots.
It wasn't exactly a pretty game early on and the Blue Devils were on their way towards an upset loss.
Batavia was giving the Lancers many second, and third chance shot opportunities in the first half. It was 7-7 at the end of the first quarter.
Eastridge actually led 17-16 at the half as Kaela Trifiro was controlling the paint and scored a pair of buckets.
The Batavia press turned things around in the third quarter. Well, that and the 10 points Wormley scored in the frame. Batavia had opened up a 35-26 lead by the end of the third period.
Eastridge got the game within seven points in the fourth quarter, but Wormley had a basket, Jaycee Shirk hit a pair of foul shots and Shaun-Della Williams hit a free throw to wrap up the victory.
Shirk and Brittany Mazurkiewiecz had eight points each.
