Girls Basketball: Bussell shatters two Monroe scoring records
Sophia Bussell had the best scoring game in the history of Monroe girls basketball Tuesday night.

That broke the previous school record of 35 points set by Jordan Strauss during the 2011-12 season.
Bussell also broke her own school record with 10 3-pointers. She set the record with 8 last season.
Alana Aulph added 11 points for the Trojans, who earned their first win in five tries this season.
Monroe’s junior varsity also tasted victory for the first time this season, winning 42-29. Maci Willey led all scorers with 15 points and Jenna Cadle tossed in 14.
