Northville Girls Basketball Falls to Canton

The third-ranked KLAA Central Division Mustangs lost 39-23.

Northville traveled to Canton, which finished second in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association, to kick off the KLAA playoffs Tuesday night. 

Coach Todd Gudith said of the game: "Northville struggled to get their offense going early on as Canton jumped out to a 9-1 lead after the first quarter. The lead extended to 15-1 before a basket by Alex Moynes finally broke the streak of misses."

Canton's Robyn Mack carried the Chiefs ending the night with 22 points.

"Mack was hard to stop. She got to the rim and made us pay. She's a four-year starter and knows how to take over a game when needed," Gudith said.

He added, "Northville played a much better third quarter but couldn't get any closer than 8 points as Canton kept the Mustangs from making any kind of lengthy run...against a quality team like Canton you have to string together four straight good quarters."
