Middle School Girls Basketball 2011-03-09 NWMS vs LaVenture

North Whidbey Middle School ended the 2010-2011 girls basketball season on a mixed note Wednesday afternoon at NWMS against LaVenture MS

In the 7th grade game, the Cougars found themselves down 6-2 at the end of the 1st period, but came back to take an 11-8 lead at halftime. They held the lead into the 4th period when LaVenture took a 19-18 lead with 3:03 left in the game. Then, with less than a minute to go, Morgan Kenaley got a steal and drove down the court to score and give the lead back to NW, 20-19. Ten seconds later, Rosie Mooki added some free throws then sealed with win with the last of her 16 points as North Whidbey held on to win 25-19. In addition to Mooki's 16 points, Hannah Knoll scored 4, Mariel Empinado and Kenaley 2 each, Reiley Auger and Kiesha Watts 1 each.

While the 8th grade defense played well, holding LaVenture to 33 points, the offensive woes continued as the team scored only a single field goal in the game, a 3rd quarter bucket by Sydney Erickson.

OHMS finishes their season with a trip to Cascade MS, then the 7th and 8th grades from both schools will combine to form the Wildcat United track team in April.
