On Nov. 20, 2012,
the girls basketball season kicked off with a 58-57 win during their home game
against Independence. “During the first
week, the girls’ practices have been all about fundamentals and getting into
basketball shape.The second week of practice was working on defensive
principals, adding offences and breaking down the opponent’s strengths and
weaknesses,” head coach, Amy Ostwinkle, told the Westerner. The girls
basketball team has a goal to be the Wamac East champs and to improve
statistical areas from last season. “This year’s team consists of six returning
seniors. Captains: Madalyn Welty, Paige Koerperich, and Brette Correy, [and]
other seniors include: Marissa Kluesner, Mackenzie Hefel, and Adrianna
Welter-Mayne, who will, we hope, lead the team to finish top of the conference
and go far in district play,” Coach Ostwinkle said. Coach Ostwinkle also added
that her favorite part about coaching is the intensity and aggressiveness that
everyone brings to the court. Plus, she enjoys seeing players mature and
improve fundamentally through their four years of high school. Coach Amy
Ostwinkle ended with telling about the night of the Hall of Pride scrimmage (a
boys and girls basketball double header), which was on Saturday, Nov. 24
against Cascade High School. Girls first played at 5 p.m., and boys played at
6:30 p.m. All money raised goes to the Coaches vs. Cancer Organization to find
a cure for cancer. Cascade defeated the WDHS girls, 32-49, but the Bobcat boys
triumphed over the Cougars, 63-47.
