Wolfpack win a whistle filled game against CCOP, 16-6

PLEASANTON -- The Wolfpack of St. Raymond came into this game against the American CCOP team very confident a week after winning the Turkey Shootout Tournament in Walnut Creek. Breyan Ashley played for the coach of the CCOP team last year, and Breyan quickly made him wish that she was still on his team. Breyan had a game-high 10 points for the Wolfpack, which proved to be the difference in the game.

Maddie Taylor was supposed to have missed this game due to her participation in the Jr. Olympics Swim Meet that was going on this weekend, but she didn’t want to let her team down and came to the game not long after swimming this morning. Maddie wasn’t able to make any of her shots today, but her tenacious defense and good ball handling were still an important factor for the Wolfpack.

Nikki, Hailey Meyer and Tess Molinar all contributed with a single basket to round out the scoring for the Wolfpack, who won handily 16-6.

The game will most likely be remembered as the “whistle game” due to the unusually large number of fouls and infractions that were called. Due to all the whistles, the game took a long time to play and the girls were never able to get into a rhythm. Regardless, the girls all played very tough defense and definitely deserved the win, which takes them to 4-0 in the regular season, after playing the all 4 of the other teams in their division. From this point on, the Wolfpack will be playing teams that they have already played.
