Avon's Jill Emmighausen (23) takes a third quarter shot in the Lady Braves win over Cal-Mum.
CALEDONIA — If the Avon girls’ basketball team expects to continue the same winning ways of the past several years — they will need players like Katie Sattora to step up.
And if Tuesday night was any indication, Sattora and the Lady Braves will be just fine.

Cal-Mum led 10-6 after one and 13-12 at the half in a game that saw more than its share of turnovers.
A 15-8 Avon run in the third period gave the Lady Braves the 27-21 advantage heading into the final period.
Senior center Jill Emmighausen netted nine points while grabbing 11 rebounds with three blocks while junior guard Danielle Sancilio contributed six points with five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Senior forward Emily Savino added six points while senior forward Carrie Pfluke contributed five points, seven rebounds and two steals for the Lady Braves, who improved to 2-2 on the season.
