Lady Wolverines cage Lady Tigers 54-32

After watching the game against Fruitland, this game was not nearly as exciting but once a Weiser fan, always a Weiser fan. We love our girls and no matter what, a win is a win.
 
Weiser hosted Ontario on Saturday, January 7th to a diminished crowd as compared to the night before when the ladies faced off against Fruitland. Never the less, Weiser dominated the game winning 54-32.
  Starters were Sadie Shirts, McKenzie Johnson, Kellyn Fuller, Nella Redman and  Marquita Palmer. Redman would hit the early bucket off the pass from Johnson. Johnson hit a THREE to put Weiser in the lead, a lead that was never relinquished. Palmer had one of several rejections on defense. Shirts drained two free throws. Rachael Lee stuffed the pass, Fuller picked up the loose ball, tip-toed the sideline to stay inbounds and finished with the shot. Sweet!  Palmer hit her shot. Lee inbound to Palmer for two. At the end of the first quarter Weiser led 13-10.
  Palmer putback an offensive rebound in the top of the second quarter. Lee had the block. Redman hit the bucket off the give and go from Palmer. Shirts nailed her shot off the fast break, 19-12.

Palmer with the rejection.  Ontario hit a three and that was answered when Johnson hit her second THREE 10 seconds later.
  This next play epitomizes the word "hustle". Weiser had a turnover on the Ontario side of the court. Ontario  dribbled down towards their basket but Johnson tracked the player, tipped the ball away and corralled it before it went out of bounds. Johnson then dribbled up the sideline past the teams, saw an opening and drove straight for the backboard making the shot and drawing the foul. What a way to end the first half. Weiser 33, Ontario 16.
  Palmer had the turn-around jumper in the top of the third quarter. Redman drained a THREE with a defender's hand in her face, 38-17. Johnson made the underhanded lay-up. Ontario hit a three. Johnson answered seconds later with her third THREE! Redman and Palmer each had a rejection. Palmer took the ball away on an attempted Ontario shot. Alex Mink putback an "O" rebound. Palmer for two more. Mink was in the key calling for the ball. Johnson gave it to her for the hoop. Weiser led 49-20 with a quarter to play.
  Weiser only scored five points in the last quarter. Shirts made a free throw. Ontario scored and scored and scored. With under two minutes to play, Redman hit a shot. Mink to Lee just before the buzzer for the bucket. Weiser had the win 54-32.
