Wetmore @ Onaga

Girl’s Varsity: Alyana Noe (Wetmore) 19 points

The Wetmore Cardinals soared to their seventh victory of the season as they downed the Onaga Buffaloes on the road by a final of 53-24. It was the full-court pressure defense that head coach, Perry Smith preaches to his squad that that helped the Cardinals get out to an earlier 10-4 lead at the end of the first quarter, and Wetmore never looked back. Onaga struggled on the offensive end as that pressure defense from Wetmore stifled anything the Buffaloes offense tired throughout the game and resulted in a multitude of turnovers for Onaga on their home floor.

Junior point guard, Alyana Noe lead the way for the Cardinals with a season high 19 points, netting a lot of buckets inside the paint and in transition off of the Onaga turnovers. Senior, Nicole Boden, also scored double-figures for Wetmore with 16 points. With the win Wetmore improved to 7-1 on the season with the victory, while Onaga fell to 2-7 with the loss. Teams are now gearing up for the Twin Valley League tournament this coming weekend.

A sluggish offense performance in the early goings for both squads, as it was a 8-5 lead for Wetmore at the end of the first quarter. Scoring picked up in the second quarter of action and Onaga grasped a four point lead going into the half, 22-18. Coming out the of the half the Buffaloes picked up the pace outscoring the Cardinals by 10 in the second of action, to stretch their lead and give them the win.
