The Southwick girls basketball team made quite the statement on Friday night.
In a battle of top programs, the Rams used a monster second quarter to run past visiting Granby, 64-32, in an independent contest at James E. Vincent Gymnasium in Southwick.
After losing its first game of the season to Pope Francis on Wednesday, Southwick got back in the win column to improve to 8-1 overall.
Leading just 16-15 after one quarter, the Rams exploded in the second quarter and outscored Granby by a whopping 25-5 margin to take a commanding 41-20 halftime lead.
Avery Burkholder led all scorers with 22 points for Southwick, while Hazel Olsen notched 12 points in the win.
Brenna Moreno led Granby (8-3) with 1 points, and Kalli White scored seven to get within six points of 1,000 for her career.
