NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Rylynn Witek and Kaylee Winn Sunday led the Adams girls basketball team to a 49-43 win over the Boys and Girls Club in the championship game of the seventh- and eighth-grade North Division Berkshire County tournament at McCann Tech.

 

Winn scored 16, and Witek added 13 as Adams pulled away late in a back-and-forth battle.

 

Winn did most of her damage from outside, hitting four 3-pointers.

 

Both came up big in the decisive fourth quarters, accounting for 12 of Adams' 17 points between them in the frame, which started with their team clinging to a 32-31 lead.

 

Neither team led by more than four points throughout the first three quarters, which saw the lead go back and forth several times.

 

Ciany Conyers (11 points) gave the Boys and Girls Club a 33-32 lead at the start of the fourth quarter when she stole the ball in the back court and went the other way for a transition basket.

 

She later scored in transition to give B&G Club a 35-33 lead with about 6 minutes, 15 seconds to go.

 

It was 39-38 for the Pittsfield squad after Randi Duquette (eight points) hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with about four minutes to play.

 

But Witek got to the line and ied it. And with about 2:30 on the clock, Averie McGrath sank a 3-pointer to give Adams a 42-39 lead it never relinquished.

 

It took the game's biggest lead at 49-41 when Winn converted a pair of free throws with 56 ticks left.

 

Ahliya Phillips led the Boys & Girls Club with 15 points.
