Led by Caitlyn Abela's 24 points, OA got off to a hot start to the season
The Panthers didn't go down without a fight, but in the end the Oliver Ames girls' basketball team out-muscled, out shot, and out defended Franklin. The defending Davenport Division Champion Tigers won their season opener, 57-48 Friday night over the defending Kelley-Rex Division Champion Panthers at the Nixon Gymnasium in Easton. "The whole thing in a nutshell is we played good defense and we just did such a terrific job off the boards," Oliver Ames coach Elaine Clement-Holbrook said. "That’s what we’ve been talking about all week long is defense, rebounds and free-throws." The Tigers' transition game got them off to a running start, out-battling Franklin to start the game, taking a commanding 14-6 lead after one period, and 30-17 lead at…

OA ended Stoughton’s six-game win streak, but the Black Knights showed great improvement since these two teams met in January. OA clinches the Davenport with the win. Stoughton needs one more win to qualify for the postseason.
Five weeks ago, the Oliver Ames girls’ basketball team crushed Stoughton 60-19 in Easton, in a matchup of a powerhouse squad and a struggling team that once enjoyed great success. Since then, Oliver Ames (14-1 overall, 10-1 Hockomock League and 6-0 Davenport Division) has continued its great run for yet another year, but there have been changes at Stoughton. Since that 41-point loss in January, Stoughton has turned its season around winning seven of its last eight games, including six in a row heading into Tuesday’s rematch with OA.
