Lakeland wins Yorktown tourney title

Lakeland won the title tonight, beating Greeley 60-28 and doing so in convincing fashion. The Hornets led 14-1 five minutes in and just kept cruising from there. Amy Voelkel, according to Alex Myers, outscored Greeley herself in the first half, 19-18. Voelkel, as I’ve mentioned about a few others, most notably Kim Adams, will just get better and better as the season goes along and basketball becomes second nature. Voelkel plays a lot of basketball over the summer, but she played field hockey and helped Lakeland win the state championship this fall. Basketball was probably not something she did on a daily basis, but it appears now that’s a distant memory.
Freshman center Tori Jorosz had seven blocks…and continues to be an emerging force. Sara Mirabile led Greeley with 13 points, although her team as a whole had just 10 points in the second half and four in the fourth quarter.
If you were there, feel free to add here. Enjoy your New Year’s Eve…
