Millbrook tops Salisbury in basketball opener

SALISBURY — Salisbury School varsity basketball fell 71-43 to Millbrook School in the first game of the season Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Millbrook won through effective shooting and control in the paint. Senior center Zoumana Traore collected 20 points for the Mustangs and reeled in rebounds left and right.

Salisbury fell behind in the first half but battled back to within one point early in the second half. With score at 34-33, the Knights’ momentum was stalled by a series of foul calls and turnovers. Millbrook proceeded to go on a 13-2 run and pull ahead down the stretch.
