GIRLS: Tuesday, CD East too strong for Chambersburg


COLONIAL PARK - Central Dauphin East had too much size and talent for Chambersburg on Tuesday night and it showed in the result.

The Panthers cruised to a 75-27 Mid Penn Commonwealth Division girls basketball victory over the Trojans after taking a 22-8 lead after one quarter.

“They are big - they have three girls over 6-feet,” Trojan coach Barry Purvis said, “and they’re agile and quick. Plus, they have two girls outside who can shoot, so there’s no way for us to match up with them. And I think all of their starters are back next year, too.”

CD East (8-5, 5-1 MPC) got 16 points from Autumn Royer, including four 3-pointers.

For Chambersburg (1-9, 0-6 MPC), Lindsay Embly scored seven points and Kirsten Pugh had six, and Taylor Vrabel contributed 11 rebounds.

“I thought Pugh and (Shayla) Corwell had their best games of the year so far,” Purvis said. “They both hustled and played hard.”
