Girls Basketball: Gators Bounce to Top

By: Brandon Goldner

Seton Keough has proven to be the team to beat this season, rolling to an impressive 23-2 record.

The Gators came up with another big victory, handing Riverdale Baptist a 58-45 victory Monday night. Riverdale Baptist is ranked eighth in the Washington Post’s weekly poll.

Seton Keough has defeated all of the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference top-ranked teams. The Gators’ resume includes a recent 62-40 victory against St. Frances. Asya Bussie managed 15 points against St. Frances to help her reach the 1,000-point plateau. She has been a force for the Gators all season.

The Gators were on a nine-game winning streak until a 65-47 loss this past Saturday to Notre Dame Prep, and even though the Riverdale Baptist victory meant nothing in the standings, it helped them get back on a roll.

The Panthers are 19-3 and have been near the top of the X Division all season.

St. Frances rebounded nicely after tough losses to Riverdale Baptist and Seton Keough to win six in a row and reassert its dominance in the A Conference.
