DUBLIN -- The undefeated Wolfpack took on the fantastic team from St. Isidore this afternoon at the meat locker known as Fallon Middle School. The Wolfpack played St. Isidore earlier in the season and held on for only a one point win. St. Isidore was clearly the toughest team that the Wolfpack have played against this year and today’s game was another hard fought battle of two very good 4th grade girls teams.
The Wolfpack started the scoring early when Nikki passed the ball back to an open Maddie Taylor who hit nothing but net from 10 feet out only 15 seconds from tip-off. After a Breyan Ashley free throw, Nikki found an open Tess Molinar who hit a nice 8-footer. Later in the first half, Jillian Weber made a nice pass to Alexis Hooper under the basket who wasn’t ready to take the shot, so she passed it to Maddie Taylor who whipped it back to an open Jillian who used the backboard to her advantage. At halftime, the Wolfpack held a tenuous 7-6 lead.
The Wolfpack started the second half scoring when Maddie Taylor started a fast break and found a streaking Jillian weber up the court, who made a brilliant arcing layup with a defender right on her. Breyan Ashley added another free throw which tied the game up at 10-10.
The relentless defense of Nikki and Maddie proved to be too much at the end of the game as the Wolfpack were able to shut St. Isidore down the rest of the way and both girls were able to capitalize on a couple of their many steals and put the Wolfpack on top for good 14-10.
St. Isidore is the one team that has given the Wolfpack team all they could handle. The Wolfpack has a bye week next week, and their next game will be against St. Isidore again at Monte Vista.
After the game, the team videographer took a team picture with all their trophies from the Turkey Shootout Championship, unfortunately the only camera at hand was the video camera which does not take great still shots.
