Grace Academy

All three Frederick Warrior teams played games on Tuesday night in Hagerstown. Grace Academy was the venue for a night of basketball.



The first game of the night was the Middle School boys. The Warriors played another good game against Grace Academy, winning 31-22. This was a close game, with the score not representative of how even the teams were.

The boys started fast, leading 12-4 after the 1st quarter. Despite their quick start and early lead, the Warriors went cold in the 2nd quarter, scoring 0 points. They played great defense and managed to keep the lead going into halftime 12-6. The 3rd quarter saw both teams warm up with Grace outscoring the Warriors 9-8 and the 4th quarter saw the Warriors turn up the heat and outscore Grace 11-7.

The leading scorer for the Warriors was Chris Lamont with 12 points and Josiah Carstens was right behind with 9. Other scorers included Jacob Hughes and Daniel Passarelli, each with 5 points. The 5-0 Warriors next take on New Life Christian School (Frederick, MD) on Monday, December 26, in a rematch of their December 16 game.


The Middle School girls took to the hardwoods second. The game started out slow and rather awkward. There was no score for the first 3 minutes of play. Finally, after the start of the second half, the Warriors began to play with more energy and teamwork. Maggie Quick was the high scorer with 6 points and Emily Passarelli had 5. Emily Matthews found her self at the the foul line several times during the game. She surely went home with some bruises.

Emily Matthews played great defense with a game high of 10 steals. The Warriors as a team had 35 steals for the night!

Rebounding was another area of significance in Tuesday night's game. Maggie Quick and Kathryn Romanchuk had 10 rebounds each. The team had a total of 34 rebounds and 12 blocks. Eight of those blocks were Maggie Quick's. The girls really hustled and worked hard on every play. The win was a hard fought win. This victory against Grace brings the Middle School Warriors record to 6 and 0.

The final game of the night showcased the Varsity Warriors against the Varsity squad from Grace Academy.

 First half action found the Warriors looking for their drive. At the start of the second half the Warriors came out of the locker room fired up and ready to play. They had an excellent second half. The girls played hard, coming up with every loose ball. They out-rebounded Grace by a margin of 38-18.

Rebecca Reifsnider led the way with 15 rebounds and Charity Poole had 6. Defensively the Warriors played a grab all you can game.

Emily Pritt had 3 steals and 4 assists. Sarah Reifsnider had 3 assists. Liz Catoe, with help from her teammates, held leading scorer Aikens (#2) to only 7 points.
