Wildcats Top Vikings

The Belleville girls made the trip down to Orfordville to face the Parkview Vikings on Tuesday, December 29th.
“The game started with Parkview going to a 7-2 lead. We settled down after this and went on a 12-0 run to put Belleville up, 14-7. This run was sparked by our aggressiveness at driving to the basket. Belleville put Parkview’s two best players in foul trouble early in the 1st half. The lead was maintained to be in between 4 and 7 for the rest of the half,” said Coach Kerry Steinagel.
The half-time score was a close one - Belleville 27, Parkview 20. Steinagel continued, “To start the second half we make a couple of lay ups, which extended the lead to 20 at one point. Belleville did a nice job shutting down Parkview’s transition game. Right now Belleville is playing with a lot of intensity and enthusiasm. With the conference schedule coming up, we need to keep the intensity going and not have any let downs.”
The Lady Wildcats won the game, 56-41. Tara Hanna had 18 points, with 16 rebounds and three assists. Grace Schulting scored 13 points, with seven rebounds and two assists. Krista Diaz put 10 points on the board, with eight rebounds and two assists.
