Rennie led Pine Plains with 20 points, keeping her team within striking distance throughout the game with aggressive drives and timely scoring. Senior Michelle Blackburn added 10 points and was recently named the POJO Player of the Week, capping a strong stretch of play.
Despite the loss, Pine Plains battled through a physical contest that came down to the final possession, underscoring the team’s resilience in one of its most hard-fought games of the season.
