Coral Prosser has drawn plenty of Division I interest during her first two seasons at Berlin Brothersvalley. She gave all of the interested observers something else to think about during a rematch of last season's PIAA Class 2A girls basketball championship game with Bishop McCort Thursday night at the Bradley Center in Johnstown.

Prosser scored 16 of her 24 points in the second half to help the Mountaineers beat the Crimson Crushers, 43-39.

Berlin Brothersvalley beat Bishop McCort in the 2024 state championship game, 62-50. It was the Mountaineers' second championship in school history. Berlin Brothersvalley also won the Class 1A final in 2019.

Bishop McCort led the game 39-34 with 4:10 remaining. Bryn Prosser scored the go-ahead basket with around 2 minutes remaining.

How many 3s?

Westtown School's Marshall Bailey had a shooting performance to remember during a win over New Jersey's Compass Academy. Bailey made 12 3-pointers and finished with 38 points.

The Pennsylvania high school record for 3-pointers made in a game was set by Turkeyfoot Valley's Chandler Enos in 2017. He made 14 treys in a 79-22 win over Salisbury.

Westtown School coach TJ Berger also earned his 400th career win.

Gribble sets record

Greensburg Central Catholic guard Erica Gribble has been moving her way up the history books all winer. Since the start of this season, Gribble set the Centurions' record for points by a girls player, eclipsing the mark of 1,725 points set by Ashley Henderson.

This Thursday, Gribble scored 22 points to help GCC knock off Steel Valley, 78-13. Gribble became the school's all-time leading scorer regardless of gender, raising her total to 1,771 points, which eclipsed Franco Sebastiani's total of 1,751.
