In their first home game of 2010 the OH girls basketball team took on the Stanwood Spartans.
Over in the dome, the freshman team had no problems handling their opponent. At the end of the 1st it was all OH, literally, as the girls led 12-0. The onslaught continued as the Cats built a 25-9 halftime lead. Things slowed down a little in the 2nd half but OH won both of the final two periods to win 42-18. Two players were in double figures – Ciera Wiser with 12 and Taru Ahonen with 10. Also scoring were Jalani Bobo with 7, Marissa Lewis 6, Joem Evangelista 4 and Morgan Young 3. The girls did have trouble at the free throw line, sinking only 8 shots of the 22 attempted.
Things didn’t go as well for the JV team. OH led 7-4 at the end of the 1st period, but gave up the lead near the end of the 2nd and Stanwood led 15-13 at halftime. In the 2nd half the Stanwood offense took off, scoring 16 and 18 in the final two periods while OH just couldn’t find the basket. After leading by only 2 at halftime, the Spartans won the game by 19, 49-30. No Wildcat scored in double figures. Lia Pantoleon led the team with 8, Tatiana Cumming scored 6, Kelsey Rankin 5, Kate Rossmand and Rayan Russell 4 each and Erika Flores 3. The JV girls continue to struggle at the free throw line, going 5-11.
The varsity game was very close right up to the end. The Spartans led by 1 at the end of the first but the Wildcats went into the locker room at halftime leading by 2 points, 20-18. Jessica Denmon, who had been quiet in the first half, scored 6 of her 16 points in the 3rd period as OH held a slim 31-30 lead to start the 4th period. Denmon hit another 7 points and Nicki Mowbray scored 7 of her 15 in the final period as the Wildcats pulled away to win 49-41. Stanwood stayed in the game behind seven 3-point scores and a perfect 6-6 from the line.
OH dropped in three 3-pointers and was 12 of 19 from the line. Denmon led the scoring with Mowbray just 1 point behind with 15. Janelle Yoshimoto, back from a long injury recovery, scored 8, Jessica James and Emilie Renninger had 3 each and Clarissa Abadesco 2.
