GBB 2011-12-01 vs Arlington

All three girls basketball teams kicked off their 2011-2012 season last night vs the Arlington Eagles at OHHS.

This year there is no freshman team, but a "C" team, as not enough freshmen tried out to make a full team, so 3 sophomores were retained to complete the team. In that game the 'Cats were down by one at the end of the first quarter, 7-8, but came back to take a 2-point lead, 16-14 at halftime. The girls stumbled in the 3rd, scoring just 2 points which allowed Arlington to win 31-26. Irene Gribble led the OH scoring with 9 points, Brook Peplinski and Kenna Prosch both scored 6, Angelica Brown and Carmen Riveiro-Moreno had 2 each and Jessica Hollins had 1.

Things did not go well at all for the JV squad. Down 10-2 at the first buzzer, they were down 16-6 at halftime. They still could not find any answer for the Arlington defense in the second half, and lost the game 17-42. Jamie Estrella scored 5 for the Wildcats, Liz Lym 4, Natalie Fiallos 3, Cassidy Gurich 2 and Danielle Teasley 1.

The same tough Arlington defense also foiled any plans of a Wildcat win in the varsity game, as the Eagles held the Wildcats to just 2 points in the first and third quarters. The final in that game was 51-15 in favor of Arlington. Annie Leete scored 7, Dominique Jackson, Lia Pantoleon and Ciera Wiser 2 each and Tatiana Cummings 1.

The Wildcat girls play again on Monday against Squalicum HS in Bellingham then open league play Wednesday, December 7th against Shorecrest at home.
