CHEN

Chinned by CHEN

The Warriors took a hit last night playing the CHEN Bravehearts. The game was physical and the officiating left the fans frustrated...but our girls showed that they were the ones with the brave hearts. The final score was CHEN 39, Warriors 29. Even though ten points seems to be a big margin, the Warriors never gave up the fight. They played hard and continued to pound the boards. Everyone got playing time and everyone played hard. Rebecca Reifsnider had 2 assists, 5 blocks and 11 rebounds. Charity Poole and Sarah Reifsnider also grabbed 7 and 6 rebounds respectively. Sarah also had 2 assists. Elizabeth Catoe who took a hard blow to the stomach had 2 blocks. Practice resumes tonight and the Warriors move on to the next challenge which comes after the holiday.

Heritage Academy

boys remain strong

The Warriors took on the 5th-6th grade team at Heritage Academy in Hagerstown, Monday night and came out victorious with a 29-25 win. This was a game that allowed our younger and less experienced players to get a lot of court time. The Warriors started fast, racing to a 10-4 first quarter lead and then a 21-7 halftime lead. Leading scorers were John Koffman and Chris Lamont, each with 8 points. Other scorers included Daniel Passarelli (5), Jonathan Kiewit (4), Josiah Carstens (2), and Nathan Williams (2). The 2-0 boys next take on Carlisle Christian Academy on January 5.

Carroll Christian

What a difference one makes!

The Lady Warriors headed to Carroll Christian on Monday night to take on the Patriots. The Patriots always promise a tough match and Monday night's games were no different. The Middle School team took the court first. Somewhere in the middle of the 3rd quarter, they found themselves down by as much as ten points. With determination and Warrior strength they managed to come back and win the game by one point. Emily Passarelli and Maggie Quick both nabbed 4 steals each. Maggie led the team in rebounding with a total of 9 combined offensive and defensive rebounds. Emily Matthews pulled in 17 points for the Lady Warriors. Kathryn Romanchuk, Joanna Hughes and Jackie Lamont both added to the win with their rebounding and fierce play. The final score was 33-34. Way to go ladies.

The Varsity girls had their match up next. They played hard and worked tirelessly throughout the game. Again, this was another nail biter. Each girl gave their all as they pounded the boards and grabbed rebounds. The final score was Carroll Christian 37 - Warriors 36. Great game Lady Warriors.

The Varsity team will compete in a tournament at St. Maria Goretti this Friday. Tip off is scheduled for 7:45. Go Warriors!
