CRANBERRY TWP — An errant shot deflected high off the rim, the basketball oddly coming to rest on top of the backboard.

The game wasn’t delayed long. Sarah Loughry took another ball and deftly flicked it above the backboard, knocking the other ball loose and enabling play to resume in a first-round PIAA Class 4A girls basketball tournament game Saturday at North Cathoilic High School.

“I just aimed and tossed it up there,” Loughry said, smiling. “Just concentration, I guess.”

The Trojanettes’ senior guard did a little bit of everything on this day, leading North Catholic to a 59-29 win over Penn Cambria. Loughry tallied 10 points, five steals, four assists and three rebounds.
