Huskies “Put Out” Fire

The Haldimand Huskies Major Bantam Rep Girls basketball team came away with a big win this past week as they matched up against the Flamborough Fire and doused their opposition with a 34-14 win! The Huskie girls came out strong and took a commanding lead early in the first half, leaving the Fire with only two points on the board at half time. Much credit must be given to the total team effort displayed with a great defensive effort, quick feet and aggressive strong play which led the offensive attack. Leading all scorers was Kelsey Toner with 13 pts, followed by Alexis Poirier with 8 and Alex Walewski with 6 pts. Emily Gill and Olivia Athanasiou each netted 3 pts while Sadie Martin added in a bucket. Again, defensively the local girls kept the ball on the perimeter, with great pressure from Sadie Martin at the top, and help on the wings from Nicole Shea, Shayla Cole, Krista Vanderzanden and Morgan Hopkins. Denying the Fire of any ‘inside game’ were Leigha McCoppen, K. Toner, A. Walewski and O.Athanasiou with some key steals and aggressive play. Alexis Poirier ripped the ball away from her opponent to add to her point total late in the game. The victory was sealed with a final score of 34-14 for the Haldimand Huskies Major Bantam Rep Girls basketball team. They now head back to the gym in preparation for their next outing which sees them in action in the Niagara Falls Red Raiders local tournament.
