Chatham-Kent Wildcats Juvenile Girls Win Two

The Chatham-Kent Wildcats Juvenile girls travelled to Strathroy to play their first two games of the year, winning both.

Their opponenet in the first game of the back to back games was the London 86’ers. The girls came out a little slow in the first three or four minutes of the game but after that they settled in and went to work. The quarter scores were 10-10 after one, 23-16 after two, 43-22 after three and 49-34 at the final buzzer.

Leading scorers for the game Tamara Gamble and Emily Pepper with 12 each, and Anique Daley and Lakiesha Cato with 8 a piece. London had no answer for the Wildcats defense in the game; in particular Daley’s post play and rebounding, Kayla Riley’s play at the point, and Emily Pepper and Megan North’s rebounding.

In the second game, the Juvenile Chatham-Kent Wildcats girls played the Tecumseh Saints. The Wildcats were tired and they were short handed with only 10 girls for the first game and 9 for the second game, but they fought through it. Chatham-Kent took a first quarter lead of 10-4, 23-15 after two, 34-28 after three and 50-42 at end of game.

Although the team lost focus on defense for a part of the game, they still found the will to win. Leading scorers for the game were Tamara Gamble with 16, Lakiesha Cato with 12 and Kayla Riley with 7. Every member of the Wildcats roster scored in this game which proved to be the winning formula.
