Seniors honored for leading girls' basketball team to success

The girls' basketball team poses before a game against South Colonie.

Family, friends and fans showed up Friday night to recognize the seniors on the girls’ basketball team before their home game against South Colonie.

The powerful squad - and last year’s section 2, Class AA champions - said goodbye and good luck to the following members of the Class of 2023:

• Taliyha Braxton
• Paige Cartwright
• Shonyae Edmonds
• Nevaeh House
• Zyaira Scott
• Amari Scott-Star

After an amazing run in the first half, the Falcons ultimately lost 54-61, with seniors Shonyae Edmonds scoring 13, Naveah House scoring 11 and sophomore guard, Azera Gates, sinking an impressive 17 points.
