It was a Senior Night to remember for the three graduating seniors on the Turners Falls girls basketball team on Friday. 

Taking on Mohawk Trail, the Thunder raced out to a 30-7 lead at the half before coming away with a 56-27 Franklin County League South win in Turners. 

All three Turners seniors scored in the win, with Abbi Holloway and Steph Peterson each scoring 10 points while Morgan Dobias tossed in five points for the Thunder. 

“Congrats to our three great seniors,” Turners coach Jim Cadran said. “It was a fitting way for them to go out. I’m hoping this won’t be their last home game here. They all played well tonight and they’re all really good kids. The program has gone up because of them.”

It was the Thunder defense that gave them their big lead. Turners held the Warriors without a basket in opening eight minutes to take a 16-0 lead into the second quarter.
