Andes Girls Varsity v Davenport

Meyerhoff leads Davenport to road victory


Daily Star Staff Report

Davenport senior Sam Meyerhoff had 30 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Wildcats to a 62-50 Delaware League girls basketball victory at Andes on Wednesday.

"She is a really, really tough player in the paint," Andes coach Glenn Reynolds said of Meyerhoff, the area's leading scorer.

Meyerhoff, who went 12-for-17 from the free throw line, had all but eight of her points in the second half. It marks the sixth time this season she's scored at least 30 points.

Andes stayed close through three quarters as senior forward Rachel Andrews had 25 points and 11 rebounds.

"To play with them at that level, we're pleased," said Reynolds, whose team trailed, 42-35, heading into the final quarter.

Reynolds added that Davenport's defense played a big role. The Wildcats' Jackie Gilley had six steals, to go along with eight points and seven assists.

"They really defended us," Reynolds said.

Brittany Chase had eight points and 11 rebounds for the Wildcats (11-2), who received 12 points from Katie Brown.

Eighth-grader Mariah Ruff contributed 13 points for the Mountaineers (6-6), who travel to Margaretville on Friday.
