When Garnet Valley needed a spark to overcome a tough shooting night, senior Haylie Adamski, as she’s wont to do, delivered in clutch fashion.
One of the top players in District 1, the senior Adamski was sensational in the fourth quarter, drilling a pair of 3-point field goals to give the second-seeded Jaguars the lift they desperately needed to push past No. 3 Upper Dublin in a District 1 Class 6A semifinal showdown Wednesday.
With a 46-32 victory, Garnet Valley advances to the district championship, where it will face top-seeded Perkiomen Valley Friday at Saint Joseph’s Hagan Arena. The opening tip is set for 6 p.m.
“Good shooters keep shooting,” Adamski said. “I knew we had to keep the pressure on them. We weren’t making a lot of our shots, but we couldn’t stop going after them. They are a good team and they had some momentum. We had to get out of our own heads and make sure we came away with the win “
Adamski poured in 10 of her game-high 22 points as the Jaguars dominated the final frame, outscoring the Cardinals 16-6.
