GBB 2010-11-30 vs Stanwood

The girls kicked off the 2010-2011 basketball season with a home game against the 4A Stanwood Spartans. Stanwood is one of the better WESCO 4A teams and they showed off their skill and experience last night against the Wildcats.

At 5:40pm the JV team got things started, but it was a slow start for Oak Harbor. The Wildcats didn't get any points on the board until halfway through the 1st quarter when Lia Pantoleon hit a 3-pointer, making the score 9-3 in favor of Stanwood. Unfortunately, that's as close as it would get as the Spartans cruised on to win 75-35. Morgan Young led the JV squad in scoring with 7 points while Pantoleon, Kaileen Burleson and Kelsey Rankin each scored 6. Marissa Lewis scored 5, Erika Flores 3 and Rayan Russell 2. Stanwood had 4 of their players in double figures.

The varsity got off to even a slower start, spotting Stanwood a 16-0 1st quarter lead. The two teams played even in the 2nd quarter, with Stanwood leading 27-11 at the half. In the 2nd half the Spartans showed their strength and built their lead to a final 65-26. Annie Leete scored 9 points to lead the team, Tatiana Cumming added 6 of her own and Janelle Yoshimoto scored 5. Ciera Wiser, Dominique Jackson (DJ) and Emilie Renninger each scored 2 points.
