On Wednesday, the girls finished up their lightning quick season by hosting the Panthers of Pennfield. In a physical battle between Panthers, the Panthers of Western came out victorious. Being down three girls due to illness, it took a lot of courage and grit to grind out the win, but the girls found a way to finish on a strong note. A strong first quarter set the tone for the rest of the game. We finished the first quarter up 8-4 and were leading at halftime 18-12. Due to playing great team defense in the third quarter we were able to extend our lead to 25-14 going into the final quarter. A few quick baskets by Pennfield to start the fourth quarter saw our lead shrink down to 5, but after a basket to end their run and a shift in our defensive mindset Pennfield was only able to muster a couple of free throws over the last 3 minutes of the game. The girls continued to work hard and improve throughout the season, and I am excited to see their continued growth as they

Wednesday night, the girls played their last game of the season and ended with a bang!  Although the first half they appeared to be playing on a court of mud, with saran wrap over their hoop, they came through strong and fought their way to a victory.  Final score 25-13. Kennedi Mohr played a great game with 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals.  Phoebe Gin, Bella Nowery and Ella Hammond helped the Panthers with 4 points and 2 rebounds each.  Aniah Parker played tough grabbing 5 rebounds and 2 steals.  Josie Zenker and Natalie Boss came through with timely free throws, while Lucero Orozco came in for some strong minutes. Maliah Glenn scored her first basket (a crowd favorite) and Jessica London (after an injury) has been super helpful as the assistant coach, with organization and insight to help the team.  The girls have all worked hard this season and each and every one of them has improved.  Their final record is 9-1, which shows t

On Monday the girls hit the road for a matchup with the Cardinals of Coldwater. The offense took a little bit to warm up but after solid defense and a couple of baskets by Zavi Jackson and Claire Luke we were up 7-2 after the first quarter. The second quarter our offense opened up thanks in part to 3 baskets by Kiyami Eddy, and one each by Breslyn Walniewski, Peyton Meads, and Claire Luke. By halftime we had extended our lead to 19-8. The third quarter saw our fastbreak lead to baskets by Alivia Stahley, Whitney Parker, Zavi Jackson, Kiyami Eddy, and Claire Luke. Coldwater found their rhythm from 3 point range and was able to cut into our lead but we still held the lead 31-23 heading into the 4th quarter. The 4th quarter proved to be a physical, defensive battle. We got a basket by Gracie Shrock and Claire Luke, as well as suffocating defense by Callie Patterson and Morgan Smith were able to keep their top scorers off their game. We were able to pull out the hard fought victory wi
