Central Catholic | 9 | 13 | 16 | 14 | 52 |
Ava Bradley didn't want to see her Central Catholic career come to an end.
The senior from Salem led her team with 15 points and 10 rebounds on Saturday, helping the No. 2 Raiders to a 52-44 victory over No. 7 Billerica in the Division 1 North quarterfinals.
Central (19-2) only led by two at the half, but opened up a 38-30 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Billerica (15-7) pushed to as close as three in the final frame, but never could claim the lead.
Kaylee Thomas added 11 points on a pair of 3s for Central, and senior Katie Kirsch chipped in 10 points.
The Raiders will play either Masconomet or Lowell in the North semis. Those two play in the quarters Monday at 7 p.m.
Central has already beat Lowell twice this season, but has not played Masconomet.
