Girls improve to 4-0 in SRV play

  The Lady Wolverines have now played all four teams in the SRV. Payette hosted Weiser on Thursday, January 12. The frosh/soph team had a thrilling win coming on strong in the fourth quarter, 20-12. The varsity did not make a single three point basket in this game but their free throw shooting was outstanding. Weiser would defeat Payette 51-30 to improve their record to 4-0 in SRV play.
  Starters for the game were Kellyn Fuller, Nella Redman, Marquita Palmer, McKenzie Johnson and Sadie Shirts. It was several trips up and down the court before a basket was made and that was three point shot by Payette. Fuller was fouled and made a free throw. Weiser had 11 missed shots halfway through the first quarter. Redman drained two free throws and then sank another one. Rachael Lee putback an offensive rebound. Fuller on the baseline passed into the key to Alex Mink for the open shot. Johnson drove as the clock was winding down and rolled the ball up the backboard and in. Weiser 10, Payette 7.
  Shirts hit the first basket for Weiser in the second quarter. Fuller sank two free throws. Redman found Johnson cutting through the key for two. Fuller to Palmer for the turn around jumper. Weiser would lead 18-11 at half time.
  Shirts had a block in the top of the third quarter. Redman sank two more free throws. Shirts stole the ball and used a great move in the key to find the hoop. Palmer had the rejection on defense. Palmer made a basket, drew the foul and finished off the three point play with the free throw, 25-16. Redman putback an "O" rebound and made the last shot of the quarter. Weiser held the slim lead 29-24.
  The fourth quarter belonged to Weiser. Shirts was fouled making her first free throw. Redman for two. Redman sank two more free throws (she was 7 of 8 from the charity stripe tonight). Johnson was six for six from the free throw line in this quarter. What a great sound the net makes when it snaps on a shot that hits nothing but the net. Palmer made a free throw.
  Payette went to a full court defense. Redman had the ball on the Payette end of the court. No one was open so Nella dribbled down the court, through the Weiser key and stopped for the pull-up jumper. Beautiful! Weiser called time-out with 1:44 to go leading 43-25. The next three buckets were lay-ups as Weiser broke the press, Mink to Palmer, Lee with the left  side shot and Mink for two. Palmer would sink the last two free throws.  Weiser 51, Payette 30.
  Scoring: Redman 15, Palmer and Johnson 10, Shirts 5, Lee and Mink 4 and Fuller 3.
