These Girls Get Buckets

4th Region’s Top Scorers know how to fill it up with ease

By Perry Swack

The beauty of scoring in basketball is that it can happen in a variety of ways. You can score a layup from close range or shoot a three-pointer from downtown. You can score one point from the free-throw line or you can shoot a mid-range jumper for two points. The best scorers know how to fill it up from all over the court. Whether it’s from beyond the arc, in the low post, or from the charity stripe, these 4th Region basketball players know how to score the basketball.
