On Tuesday at 5:30, the defending state champion Hoosac Valley girls (17-6) take on Central Mass champion Millbury (21-2) in a rematch of their mid-January meeting at the Hoophall Classic at Springfield College, a 45-28 Millbury win.
"I think we can play with them," Hoosac Valley coach Ron Wojcik said. "That was probably one of our poorer games of the year, offensively. Defensively, it actually wasn't bad, we held them in the 40s.
"We're going to have to score. They're a seasoned team. Senior-laden. They pass the ball well. We'll make some adjustments, for sure, based off the film. And if we can put some points up, I think we can definitely play with them."
Hoosac Valley was far from alone in struggling to score against the Woolies. Millbury held its three opponents in the Central Mass tournament to 36, 28 and 26 points, respectively. According to the Worcester Telegram, Millbury, like Hoosac Valley, boasts a balanced scoring attack with Shannon Reno leading the Woolies with 11.7 points per game; the Hurricanes have three players -- Averie McGrath, Riley Robinson and Sarah Field -- who average around 9 ppg.
