PORT ALLEGANY 51, CAMERON COUNTY 45
EMPORIUM, Pa. – Evin Stauffer drained a 3-pointer from the right elbow with two minutes to play to break a tie game and help visiting Port Allegany to a 51-45 win over Cameron County.
With the game tied at 45, Stauffer took a pass from Bree Garzel and thought about passing the basketball. But when Cameron County didn’t come out to defend her, she took the shot to give the Lady Gators a 48-45 lead.
