Middle School Girls Basketball 2010-03-18 OHMS at NWMS

The final OHMS vs NWMS girls basketball game was held Thursday evening at NWMS and again the Panthers emerged victorious.

In the 7^th grade game Oak Harbor jumped out to an early 10-4 lead and North Whidbey just couldn’t get things going and get back in the game. The Cougars did keep things respectable but finished on the wrong end of the 37-20 score. Aubrey Lock led NWMS in scoring with 10 points while Natalie McVey and Jessica Hollins each added 4 and Hayley Lundstrom ended the game with 2 points. For the Panthers, Nalani Gabbert stood out with 17 points, 9 in the 2^nd quarter alone. Brook Peplinski added 8 of her own and McKinley Kellogg 4. Michelle Braegger, Kendalyn Wersland, Andreanna Turner and Sierra Southwick each scored 2 points.

The 8^th grade was similar, although the score was tied 6-6 at the end of the 1^st. OHMS corrected that by going on a 10-4 run in the 2^nd to finish the half leading 16-10. The Panthers stepped up their aggressive defense in the 3^rd, holding NW to just 2 points. When the dust settled it was OHMS 36, NWMS 16. For the Panthers, it was Annie Leete on top with 20 points. Nina Coleman and Sam Hawkins scored 4 each and Zana Harrison and KC Winfield scored 2 each. The leading scorer for the Cougars was Melanie Callaway with 8 points. Breanna Roderos scored 4 and Natalie Fiallos and Caterina Amsler a pair each.

That game ended the middle school winter sports seasons, and eyes will now turn to the upcoming track season.
