Eagles Improve to 2-0 in Southern League

TC Basketball 2010 08
Some of the Lady Eagles

The Lady Eagles won their second league game in as many tries on Monday night. The girls turned in a great team effort as freshman sensation Halie Bergman left the game in the first quarter with an injury. The girls rallied behind excellent offensive performances by Kaisa Spycher (18 points), Molly Farrar (13 points), and Amy Wright (10 points). Candice Balswick (8 points) and Halie (9 points) also contributed to the scoring. Scoring off the bench were Kara Gabrielson (4 points) and Natalie Snyder and Molly Zuhlke (2 points each). This reporter observed Molly Z leap at least 3 or 4 feet straight up as she shot over the defender. She also shared that her attempted 3 pointer was a result of Coach Edwin's encouragement from the bench:-)

The Eagles dominated the defensive end of the court with 27 steals, led by Molly F's 7 and Candice B's 5. Marly Burton blocked 4 shots and grabbed 7 defensive rebounds while Molly Z blocked 2 shots and snagged 3 steals. Amy Wright had an excellent over-all game, ripping down 9 rebounds, dishing out 3 assists, and shooting 71% (5/7) for the night.

At press time I am not sure how serious Halie Bergman's injury is, but remember her in your prayers as she recovers.

The Lady Eagles travel to Grizzle country (Mariposa High) on Thursday. Take a drive to the mountains and enjoy the game.
