BINGHAMTON — Payton Littlefield had a career-high 38 points and the Edison girls basketball team hit 12 threes for the third time in the past four games as they topped Seton Catholic 75-66.

Edison led 17-13 after one quarter, but the game was tied at 34 at the half. Edison used a 26-point third quarter to pull away for the win.

“Could not be happier with how the team is playing right now,” Edison coach Chris Mallette said. “Seton played a really good game offensively tonight, but we took their bets shot and just kept making shots on the other end.

“Payton obviously came up huge with a career high 38 points, but it was the contributions from up and down the roster that got us the win. Made 12 threes again for the third time in four games. Just hope we can keep this level of play up for another few weeks.”
