Lady Eagles capture Lambert-Simons, Kilmer sets mark

12-3-25

By Staff Reports
Racing down the left side of the floor near the end of the third quarter, Addison Kilmer was just
looking to fill a lane and cut into the Nanticoke lead. Unknowingly making school history.
With the layup off a feed from teammate Reagan Bishop-Russo, Kilmer scored her 1,552nd
career point to become Mountain View’s all-time leading scorer and sparked the Lady Eagles
to their second consecutive Lambert-Simons Tip-off Classic title with a 53-44 win over the
Trojanettes.

Kilmer finished with 19 points and combined with Bishop-Russo to score nine of the team’s 17
points in the fourth quarter as Mountain View outscored Nanticoke 17-7 in the final stanza to
erase a one-point deficit and secure the title.
“It’s just a surreal feeling,” said Kilmer, who was not aware that she was near the milestone
established by Helen Schlasta in 1958-61 with 1,551 points.
“I just wanted to win the game, win the championship, and no one said anything,” added Kilmer.
Bishop-Russo led the way in the final stanza scoring five of her eight points including pushing
the Lady Eagle lead to five points with three the hard way – with a tough drive along the baseline
where she was fouled converting the layup and added the free throw.
Mountain View made 10 of 13 free throw attempts during the quarter to seal the win.
Kilmer also had 12 rebounds while Aubrey Sanders scored 15 points and joined Kilmer on the
All-Tournament team. Emily Trichilo added nine points.
