BRADFORD, VT.- The Blue Mountain Bucks started their 2021-2022 season in fine fashion with a come from behind victory over the Oxbow Lady Olympians 47 to 43.

For Oxbow, Maggi Ellsworth had 13 points to pace the Olympians. Emma Parkin added 12, eight of of those coming from the charity stripe.  Alexa Kosakowski contributed with seven points.
