McPherson out with eye injury
BY ADAM RONIS
Eugeneia McPherson added another impressive performance to her resume on Thursday against Smithtown East. The North Babylon junior guard scored 20 of her 28 points with one eye in the second half in a 67-42 win.
McPherson took an elbow to her left eye near the end of the first quarter, sat the second quarter and returned for the second half, but couldn't see out of the eye. McPherson didn't play against Sachem East yesterday in a loss. McPherson wanted to play, but coach Mike Petre decided to sit her.
McPherson had x-rays and a CAT scan on the eye and she should know the results tomorrow. North Babylon trailed by three with 1:44 left in the game.
"To be that close without Eugeneia is a good edge for us mentally," Petre said.
North Babylon plays Calhoun on Thursday. Check back for an update on her status tomorrow.
