Dujotrek's buzzer-beater lifts Prospect

Junior Eliot Dojutrek got Prospect's girls basketball team off to a rousing start as she hit a buzzer-beater for a 50-48 win over Oswego at the York tournament on Monday night.

"It was a battle from start to finish but we were able to come out on top," said Prospect second-year coach Marie Miller. "I could not be more proud of the leadership and confidence I saw in Eliot tonight.

"She set a goal for herself this season to finish her takes and did she ever deliver tonight."

Dujotrek finished with 13 points.

"It was a great effort by all 15 ladies getting each other ready for this exciting week," Miller added. "It was fun to see the varsity debut of sophomores Summer (Sroduski), Macy (Zei) and Andie (Will) as well."

Sarah Skaggs also had 13 points for Prospect.

"Hats off to Oswego," Miller said. "They are very well-coached, disciplined and a hardworking team. They gave us a game from start to finish and I think we are both better for it."
