Eagles Split With Mariposa

JV Eaglettes in 1st place in Southern League.

The JV continued its run in the Southern League with an exciting victory against Mariposa on Thursday night. With outstanding preformaces by Paige U., Rebeka M., and Natalie S. they won their 3rd contest in league. Using the press as both an offensive and defensive weapon they out ran the Grizzles. Great Job JVers:-)

Varsity Eagles fall to Mariposa.

The Lady Eagles had a disappointing 40-44 loss to the Mariposa Grizzles on Thursday night. The pressing Eagles were plagued by foul trouble throughout the contest and eventually Candice Balswick and Amy Grant fouled out. TC moved away from the platooning system, that has worked so well throughout the pre-season and the first few league games, for this contest. The "second" team only entered the contest once for just under 2 minutes in the first quarter and were never seen again, as a unit, for the rest of the game. The girls appeared to run out of gas by the overtime period and were out scored 4-0. After a lot of success with the press during the first half the Grizzles began to score on a number of fast breaks during the second half. The girls continued to show that defense is a very strong part of the Eagles game.

Outstanding performance included:

Points: Molly Farrar (16), Amy Wright (9), and Erin Santiago (8)
Assists: Erin (3) and Molly F (2)
Steals: Molly F (9 which is tops this year), Amy (7) and Tiffany Snyder (4)
Blocks: Kaisa Spycher (8, which is also the best of the year), and Molly F (4)
Rebounds: Kaisa (19 - Best of the year), and Amy (15)

Some excellent individual efforts and the team never gave up. Way to work hard girls.

You can see these and other players in person tonight at Calvary Baptist as they play Mariposa County High School. Mariposa was predicted to take 2nd in the Southern League at the beginning of the season. Come and see if the Lady Eagles can mess with that prediction.

JV & Varsity Sweep Delhi

JV downs the Hawks:

The TC Lady Eaglets began the night at Delhi with an impressive win. The score was football like at half-time, TC with 3 field goals and Delhi with a touchdown and extra point (for those with limited football knowledge that is a 9 to 7 score). Coach Wright came out in the second half with the full court press and the girls pounded the Hawks. This observer noticed some excellent play by Natalie at the point, Paige stealing and rebounding all over the place, Ashley blocking shots, Alana hitting the jumpers, and the team looking great in the second half. Great job JV:-)

Lady Eagles beat the Delhi Hawks

The TC varsity improved their record to 10 wins and 4 losses as they beat the Hawks at the Delhi gymnasium 53 - 15. The game was never out of doubt as the multi-talented Eagles overwhelmed their opponent. Delhi did not know what to do as the Eagles came after them wave after wave. The TC defense continued to shine, holding Delhi to its lowest score of the year.

Defensive standouts included:

Defensive Rebounds; Kaisa Spycher (6), Erin Santiago (6), Marly Burton (5) and Molly Zuhlke (4)
Steals: Molly Farrar (4), Emily Bruss or Emily Brusf in the Modesto Bee (4), Kara Gabrielson (3), Candice Balswick (3), and Erin (3)
Blocks: Kaisa with a season high 7 and Marly (5)

Other outstanding performances included:

Points: Candice (9) and Kaisa (9) and 10 of the players scoring.
Offensive Rebounds: Emily (5), Kaisa (4) and Kara (4)
Assists: Molly F (5)

Great game Eagles.
