DANVILLE -- The Wolfpack started the second half of the regular season against St. Joan’s in the Auxiliary Gym at San Ramon Valley High. To start the game, the Wolfpack only had 5 girls, Maddie, Alexis, Hailey, Sammy and Tess. It looked like it was going to be a long game for these girls, but luckily Breyan Ashley showed up midway through the first 3 minute session. The Wolfpack started slow, falling behind 2-0, but within 6 seconds after entering the game, Breyan made her presence known, grabbing a rebound and putting it back up and in to tie the game.
By halftime, the Wolfpack used their trademark swarming defense to hold St. Joan’s to only one more basket and Maddie, Breyan and Hailey all added scores to take a 14-4 lead. During the third quarter, though, St. Joan’s effectively used the press on the Wolfpack and cut the lead to 16-8, with the Wolfpack looking a little tired and not breaking the press very well.
The 4th quarter was a different story, though. The Wolfpack started spreading out on the court and making really nice passes to break St. Joan’s press. Alexis Hooper had her best quarter of the year, scoring a basket, making an assist to Maddie for a basket and making some really nice passes as well as using her height well to disrupt the St. Joan shooters while on defense. Using the good passing and tough defense, the Wolfpack won going away and cruised to a comfortable 22-8 win.
This was yet another nice team win for the Wolfpack. 5 of the 6 girls scored baskets and 5 of the 6 also had assists, so all 6 girls had their hand in this victory. The Wolfpack are now a perfect 5-0 and have outscored their opponents 109-49. Good job girls!
