The 6th/7th grade girls enjoyed their easiest win of the season, a 24-6 thumping of their opponent Saturday afternoon.
Christine had a phenomenal game and set a new career high with 14 points, despite playing only three quarters. She was in foul trouble and was unable to go the distance.
Late in the 4th quarter, Christine took a vicious elbow to her lower back, a blatant cheap shot by the other team that was trailing by close to 20. It looked more like something that will happen at Wrestlemania on Sunday as opposed to playing defense on the basketball court.
She hit the ground hard, but managed to recover and still came back and scored two more points.
The twin was hitting it from the outside, scoring on fast breaks, and found herself on several occasions weaving through the defense to the basket. Had it not for a few missed lay-ups, she could've had 20 or more points.
From the get go, there was a sense this was going to be a lopsided game. Michaela and Christine, with their ball pressure forced a turnover, and then on the fast break Michaela made a great dish to Christine in front of the basket who laid it in for the first two points of her career high.
Their record sits at (3-3), with their most important game of the year coming up this Friday. With a win, they can pull into the final playoff spot. Lose, and in all likelihood, a post-season spot will be lost.
Cecilia, 2 points, and Michaela and Becky, 4 points, rounded out the scoring.
