Montgomery Media reports:
Erin Fenningham is all too familiar with watching from the sidelines.
However, the St. Basil guard is back on the floor after a third ACL
injury and, though she’s not at full-strength, she sure played as if she
was on Thursday night against Merion Mercy.
“She might be the
happiest kid in the world right now,” St. Basil coach Terry Mancini
said. “She loves to be on the floor and with her back, it gives our
young players a very calming influence.”
Fenningham was held to
two points in the first half, but went off in the final three quarters
to finish with 24 points as the Panthers defeated Merion Mercy, 43-35,
in Athletic Association of Catholic Academies action
Both teams
started out running a full-court press which brought out a lot of sloppy
play, including numerous turnovers. Merion Mercy guard Sam Siegfried
was pick-pocketed by Fenningham after the opening tip and Fenningham was
fouled on her layup and made one out of two free throws.
The
Panthers also suffered from costly turnovers early on and found
themselves down 9-4 in the first quarter. St. Basil shot one of 11 from
the field including five turnovers—the youth on the Panthers roster was
evident.
