Knights/Buchholtz’s Roll Again

On 17 occasions this year, FCJ covered b-ball teams have had teammates each score 20 in a game.  Kingsland’s sister tandem of Lauren and Ellie Buchholtz has now done so thrice.  Versus LeRoy-Ostrander, it was a one-sided affair with the Buchholtz’s pouring in the points.  Ellie B. scored 17 in the first nine minutes or so.  The Knights put 50 up in the first half (50-26).  To start the second, Lauren B. scored 20 points in the first nine or so minutes.  With Ellie getting her second 30-point game (31 pts, 9 rebs, 6 asts) and Lauren her third straight 20-plus point game (24 pts, 11 rebs, 7 asts), the Knights prevailed 90-46.  Kingsland had four in double-figures, as Shelby Beck (11 pts, 8 rebs, 4 asts) and Sam Wernimont (11 pts) helped.  Wernimont combined with Ellie B. to hit six threes in the first nine minutes, stoking a 28-13 lead.  Over the past three games (all wins), Lauren and Ellie have combined to score 157 points (27 PPG and 25.3 PPG respectively).  The Knights improved to 6-3, 11-7.
