QUECHEE The third-ranked Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team quickly put to rest any upset concerns, opening Tuesday night with an 18-3 run en route to a 69-22 victory over 14th-seeded Richford to open the VPA Division IV playoffs.
Sydney Goodwin led the MVCS attack with 26 points, including 12 from the free-throw line. Rachel Horner-Richardson and Hayley Goodwin each had 18 points. The Eagles (8-2) built a 33-12 lead at halftime and scored 20 points in the third quarter to put the game on ice.
“We got off to a quick start and were able to take control early. We have typically started slow in past playoff games, so I was happy with our focus and effort tonight,” MVCS coach Chris Goodwin said.

WOODSTOCK Hayley Goodwin scored 23 points as the Mid Vermont Christian Academy girls basketball team picked up a 57-38 victory on Monday night over Woodstock at Dailey Gym.
The Eagles held a 34-16 lead through two quarters and were up, 49-30, entering the final stanza.
Sydney Goodwin finished with 13 points and Rachel Horner-Richardson added 11 for MVCS (6-0). Woodstock was led by Emma Tarleton’s 12 points, and Morgan Myers had six.
The VPA Division II Wasps and D-IV Eagles weren’t scheduled to meet, but both teams feature players with COVID-19 facemask exemptions, which has made playing games difficult. Monday night’s contest was only the second time this season Woodstock (3-2) has actually played a game. The Eagles were previously scheduled to travel to Long Trail on Monday.
