Pine Plains Bombers turn early lead into 30-point win

MILLBROOK — The Pine Plains girls varsity basketball squad brought their “A”-game to the Millbrook High School gym Friday, Jan. 17.

The Pine Plains Bombers were hot on the court despite the cold temps outside the gym, securing a commanding lead in the first quarter that led to a 53-23 victory over the Millbrook Blazers.

The Bombers’ Nevaeh Rennie, no. 34 of Pine Plains, led in scoring across the board with a total of 23 points — 18 from field goals and 5 from the free throw line.

Blazdrs top scorer Lydia Kascak, no. 21 of Millbrook, put up 3 baskets and made 3 free throws for a total of 9 points throughout the night.

Millbrook showed composure at the free throw line. The squad was 7-7 at the free throw line overall. That composure couldn’t save them against the Bombers’ shooting.

Pine Plains played a much faster paced game than Millbrook, racking up a 31-8 lead by halftime.

Millbrook picked up their pace in the second half, and defended against Pine Plains enough to reduce the scoring deficits by a few points. The Bombers still out scored Millbrook in the second half by 10 points, despite the Blazers’ best efforts.

SALISBURY — The Twin Lakes Association is taking an earlier and more aggressive approach to fighting the spread of invasive hydrilla in East Twin Lake by dosing the whole northeast bay, from May through October, with low-level herbicide treatments instead of spot treatments.

The goal, said Russ Conklin, the TLA’s vice president of lake management, is to sustain herbicide concentration over the 2025 growing season.
