It's a win!
Playing a solid defense, the Wildcat girls varsity basketball team held the winless Tomahawks in check to grab a 39-31 victory Wednesday night in the OHHS gym.
The teams are quite similar, with only 2 seniors on the roster. Pilchuck also sports four freshmen on the varsity squad while OH has four sophomores.
The win was first for the Wildcats in league play, their second on the season.
Julie Jansen and Bryn Langrock shared scoring honors with 9 points each. JP Payne scored 6 and Deja Bunch 4. Scoring 2 points each were RG Graham, Jinai Guzman, AnnaBelle Whitefoot, Hayley Lundstrom and Montana Koslowski. Lydia Peplinski added one free throw.
The next two games are on the road, at 2-2/6-8 Everett on Friday, then at 4-1/12-3 Stanwood on Wednesday. The next home game is on Friday the 30th against Arlington.
Photos from the varsity game are posted HERE. No JV or Freshman pics this time. Sorry!
Earlier, the JV squad also got a win, 43-34, with Lexi Jones scoring a game-high 16 points. Matti Miesle and Montana Koslowski added 9 apiece, Hannah Taylor 6 and Kyanna Prosch 3.
While the JV squad scored 21 points in the 3rd to take a commanding 37-15 lead, they let down on both offense and defense, scoring only 6 while allowing 19, but the 'Cats got the win.
Over in the dome, the Freshman team started with only 6 players on the bench, one of them a JV player.
As it turned out, the team needed all of them, and more. Leading by 2 late in the game, one girl fouled out, then with just a minute to go and the 'Cats down by just one point, a second Wildcat fouled out, leaving just four players. Then with just 3 seconds left, a Wildcat player went down with an injury, leaving just 3. In the end, it was the Tomahawks 40, Wildcats 36. Per the scorebook, Alisha Wilson scored 14, Trinity Olvera and Alyssa McCaulty 9 each, Tia Miesle 4, and Trisha hill and Aelizah Espiritu 2 each.
