OSWEGO — The Crest High girls season came to an end in a Class 1A-I substate semifinal playoff game against Madison on Friday, 56-24.

Once Madison heated up from deep, it was a done deal for Crest.
McKenna Hammond posted the only two points of the first quarter on a layup before Aylee Beckmon and Kinley Edgerton each sank layups in the second.
It wasn’t enough against a Madison team which scored 16 points in the second quarter alone to take a 27-6 lead into the break.
Madison’s Sarah Miser scored seven in the first quarter. Jalynn Weakley scored six points on a trio of two-point baskets in the second period.
The Lady Lancers couldn’t get any closer the rest of the night.
