Whitehall used a 17-6 run in the second quarter to break open a close game on its way to a 46-24 victory over Fort Ann in an Adirondack League girls basketball game Thursday, Jan. 31.

The Railroaders shrugged off a slow start at the offensive end by limiting the Cardinals to four points in the first quarter. The second-quarter spurt allowed Whitehall to build a 26-10 halftime lead, and the Railroaders never looked back.

Zoe Eggleston netted 17 points, and Jessica Moore contributed eight points and 18 rebounds for Whitehall, which closed the game on an 11-3 run. Kayla Bailey hit a pair of three-pointers to lead Fort Ann with six points.

Whitehall improved its record to 6-7 in the league and 9-7 overall entering its Friday game against Warrensburg. Fort Ann’s record dipped to 3-10 in the Adirondack League and 6-10 overall.
