JOHNSONBURG — A good start by the Curwensville Area High School girls basketball team fizzled through the middle two periods as Johnsonburg kept its Allegheny Mountain League playoff hopes alive with a 53-38 win Friday night.
The Golden Tide owned a 17-14 lead at the first rest stop, but the Lady Rams pulled ahead 27-22 at halftime and then outscored the visitors 14-6 in the third quarter.
Junior Hannah Dixon and freshman Madison Weber accounted for the bulk of Curwensville’s points with 14 apiece, with the latter matching her season high.
Johnsonburg also was led by a pair of underclassmen, freshman Cassidy King with a game-hit 17 points and junior Nicole Myers with 11.
The Lady Rams, who evened their record at 9-9, remained in the hunt for one of the two AML playoff berths in the North Division at 6-3.
The Lady Tide are 0-8 in the South Division and 1-15 overall.
Johnsonburg won the junior varsity game 46-7.
Next week, Curwensville will play four games in five days, starting with a home test against Sheffield Tuesday.
