Middle School Girls Basketball 2011-03-02 OHMS vs LaVenture

In their second meeting this year, the LaVenture teams showed they learned from that first game and but that to use.

At the end of the 1st quarter of the 7th grade game, the Oak Harbor girls,who won big in the first meeting, found themselves down 10-9, with all the points scored by Jinai Ekberg. In the 2nd the defense woke up and the offense got on track and the Panthers won the 2nd period 25-2 to lead 34-12 at halftime and never looked back. In the end it was Oak Harbor 7th grade girls 46, LaVenture 23. Ekberg finished with 19 points to lead the team. Suzanne Kaltenbach scored 8, Krimson Rector and Janae Payne 6 each, Taylor Heidt 4 and Deja Bunch 3.

The 8th grade game was similar, with the Panthers down by 1 point at the first buzzer, 8-7. The Panther turned it around, but it was still a close 22-18 Panther lead at halftime. Things really got going on defense in the 3rd period as the girls held LaVenture to just 2 points, which put the game out of reach. The final was OHMS 8th grade 53, LaVenture 32. Nalani Gabbert scored 12 for the Panthers and 8 other girls got on the board as the scoring was spread around. Brook Peplinski finished with 9, Faith Callies 8, Sierra Southwick 6, Hayley Lundstrom 5, Rebecca Pabona and Michelle Braegger 4, McKinley Kellogg 3 and Lauryn Plush 2.
