On Friday, December 11th, the Framingham Girls basketball team took on Weymouth at home.

The girls looked to start off the season with a win in front of their home crowd.

The two teams were evenly matched and traded baskets early in the game, but Weymouth led 16-9 at the end of the first quarter.

As the game approached halftime, Weymouth had taken a commanding lead as they outscored the Framingham Girls 23-14 in the second quarter to a score of 39-23.

Even though things were not looking good for the Framingham Girls coming out of halftime, they battled back with strong defense by only giving up 5 points in the third quarter. After three quarters the score was 44-39 and the Framingham girls had cut their deficit to 5 points.

In the final quarter the two teams battled it out to the last seconds, but in the end Weymouth took the win with a final score of 59-50.

The Framingham Girls may not have been happy with the overall result of the game, but their hard play and teamwork in the second half of the game allowed them to overcome adversity and get right back into the game.

The girls were led by great performances by senior Sydney Hajduk with 10 points, senior Lauren Gemelli with 13 points, senior Stephanie Sheldon with 8 points, and junior Faith Daigle with 11 points.

The girls will play again in Natick on Tuesday, December 15th, in what should be an interesting game against their rival.
