WILLIAMSTOWN, Vt. — The Thetford Academy girls basketball team isn’t afraid of a little hard work. After all, it sometimes comes with victorious benefits.
Riding a season-high 15 points from Kelsey Smith, the Panthers muscled their way to a 50-38 win over Williamstown on Monday night. A few days after struggling for a half in a 14-point loss at Windsor, Thetford (4-3) toughed out a victory against a team that rarely yields them willingly.
“It was a grind-out game,” TA coach Eric Ward said. “Williamstown made us work. We are just a bit off but know, with a good week of practice, we will be ready for Rivendell on Saturday and the playoffs starting next week.”
