The Emmaus High School girls basketball team was on a roll over the final couple of weeks of 2024. The Green Hornets won eight of nine games played in December, including a championship at the Easton Rotary Holiday Tournament.

Emmaus continued its winning ways in its only game of the new year as it defeated Stroudsburg 56-24 last Friday night in Eastern Pennsylvania Conference action.

In a matchup of the top two teams from their respective divisions, the Mounties (7-4 overall, 4-3 EPC) in the Monroe Division and the Hornets (10-1, 7-0) in the Lehigh Division, Emmaus took a double-digit lead (15-4) after just the first quarter and extended the advantage to 29-10 at halftime.

The Hornets continued to pour it on in the third quarter, outscoring Stroudsburg 22-7 to take a 51-17 lead into the final quarter.

Gabby DeVita finished with a game-high 15 points and tied the team lead with two 3-pointers. Cassie Doemling recorded 12 points and Sylvia Sokolofski added eight points, including two 3-pointers. Sofie Laird tallied seven points and Olive Whitney contributed five. Both Olivia Haberl and Emma Naccarato netted four points and Sophia Shutkufski rounded out the scoring with one point.

Emmaus continues conference competition at Parkland Tuesday and then hosts Pocono Mountain East in EPC action this Friday night before traveling to Blue Mountain for a nonconference game on Saturday afternoon.
