The last decade has not been kind to Altoona-Midway athletics. While the boys’ football and basketball teams ended multi-year losing streaks four years ago, the girls’ basketball team started the season with a six year losing streak, seven years if a forfeit win is not included.
The girls picked up a win against a homeschooling team during a December tournament. Last night they beat Oswego 42-38, ending a ten year conference and home losing streak. Senior Mariah Stackhouse led with 19 points, which is the most any A-M girl has scored in the last nine years. It is also more than the girls’ team averaged during the 2012-13 season.
