Troy Girls Basketball Comes Back to Beat West Bloomfield

The varsity girls basketball team closed out 2011 with a feel-good win Friday night.

Down 10 points in the fourth quarter, the Troy Colts stormed back to beat West Bloomfield 57-55 on the road.

Karin Moss led Troy with 13 points and was one of four players in double digits. Katy McCuish and Rachael Zelmanski each had 11 points and Sabria Cotton had 10. 

The comeback started when the West Bloomfield Lakers' top player had to go to the bench.

“West Bloomfield’s point guard Sydni Davis went down with foul trouble in the fourth,” Troy head coach Dennis Koch said. “We went on a big run.”

The Lakers had a chance to win the game with a last-second 3-pointer from pretty far out, but the shot didn’t go in. It was the second straight loss for West Bloomfield decided by only two points.

Davis and Kheri Motley finished the game with 15 points each for the Lakers.

The win gives Troy a 4-1 record headed into winter break with a 1-1 record in the Oakland Activities Association Red division.

West Bloomfield will close out the year with a visit to Walled Lake Northern on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
