Eagles Sink Vikings

Lake Tahoe Tournament
2010-11 Turlock Christian Varsity @ Lake Tahoe Tournament last Summer

The Victory Christian Vikings and the TC Lady Eagles met last night in the first round of the Bradshaw Christian Christmas Tournament in Sacramento.  The Eagles flew to a quick lead and looked like they were going to bury the over-matched Vikings, buta  few key turnovers and a missed lay-up here and there combined with a three pointer by Victory's senior guard Brianna Leiford and the game became a back and forth affair.  Spurred on by the outstanding play of their own Molly, #5, the 
Vikings stayed in the game until TC turned up the heat in the fourth quarter.  When TC was forced to set up 
an offense they appeared to be so intent on running it that they did not take advantage of their superior
athletic talent.  When the Eagle's could run the court the Vikings could not keep up with them.  

The game started off with a flurry of points by TC and they leaped to an impressive 18-9 lead at the end of
the 1st quarter.  Over the 2nd and 3rd quarters the Eagles were outscored 21-19 and the Vikings looked like
like the better team.  The TC defense looked over confident and Victory took advantaged.  The fourth quarter
started with a bang and the Eagles quickly took charge.  If the Lady Eagles could string four quarters together
like last night's 1st and 4th they could be scoring over 70 points a night against teams like Victory.


Outstanding Performance Included:


Points:  Kaisa S (16), Molly F & Kara G (10 each) and Marly B & Rebekah M (8 each).
Rebounds: Marly (15) and Kaisa (10).
Blocks: Marly (4).
Steals: Natalie & Molly F (6 each).
Assists: Molly F (6) & Kara (4).


Tonight the Eagles face Wilton Christian in a battle of teams that have both been regular participants in the 
section finals or semi-finals the last few years.  Make the drive to Bradshaw Christian and watch the fire
works.


A question has been asked of the Zulkster about the last blog.  I mentioned the "chicken stuff" that was at the
TC tournament.  Do I know the difference between chicken and pork?  Apparently not:-)


I do now.
