It was standing room only on Thursday night as all three Warrior teams played in Gettysburg. The middle school boys tipped off the night. The Warriors continue to improve each week and faced a very tough Adams County Christian Academy team. The boys started slowly, trailing at the end of the 1st quarter 9-4. But the team started hitting their shots in the 2nd quarter and ended up leading at halftime 16-15. They continued to play strongly in the 3rd quarter and entered the 4th quarter with a 27-24 lead. The momentum continued in the Warrior's favor and they won the game 40-32. On the defensive side, Caleb Abel was tasked with guarding the Ram's best player, who fouled out with 2 minutes to play, and rose to the occasion. Caleb took a bad fall in the 4th quarter and twisted his ankle. He’ll be out for a few games and we’ll be praying for a quick and complete recovery. On the offensive side, our scoring was very balanced with 3 players in double digits. Josiah Carstens and Jacob Hughes each scored 11 points and Christopher Leao added 10.
Rounding out the scoring were John Koffman with 6 points and Chris Lamont with 2. The Warriors put their 7-0 record on the line Monday, February 2, against Mountain View Christian Academy in Winchester, VA.
The middle school girls were second in the line up for the night. Everyone got time on the hardwoods. Defense was tight and helped keep the score in the Warrior's favor.
Kathryn Romanchuk led the team in rebounding for the night with 9 total rebounds. Four of those rebounds were defensively. Maggie Quick, Emily Passarelli and Jackie Lamont followed with 3 defensive rebounds. Emily Matthews topped the charts with 5 steals for the night.
Maggie Quick had 4 steals. On the offensive end, Joanna Hughes was leading scoring with 6 points. Kathryn Romanchuk and Emilly Matthews both cashed in 5 points. Other contributing scorers were: Emily Passarelli, Maggie Quick, and Amanda Stewart.
The final score was Warriors 24 to ACCA 13. This brings the Warriors to an outstanding 8 and 0. When Coach Quick was asked about the Warrior's undefeated record his response was, "Only by the grace of God have we won all those games!"
The Varsity Warriors rounded up the night with the third victory. The girls continue to improve and they played a great game. Every girl on the team got playing time in the game and played superb. It was a night of season highs! Emily Pritt had a season high of 8 assists.
Rebecca Reifsnider had a season high total of 30 points.
She and her sister Sarah were neck and neck on blocks for the night. Liz Catoe had a season high of 4 steals.
In addition,the players coming off the bench had a season high of 17 points combined. Coach Barry was very proud of the combined effort of all of his players. Way to go Warriors!!
Although not recommended as a way to get prepared mentally before a big game, one has to wonder if the nicely done nails had anything to do with the win!?!
