Martin Luther School’s girl’s varsity basketball team opened
up their tournament with a loss against St. Agnes, 51-34.
The first half started quite slow as the lady cougars
trailed 12-19 at the intermission. Both teams came out stiff, lacking
continuity on the offensive end.
The intensity for both teams did manage to pick up in the
third quarter as the lady cougars tried to claw their way back. They poured in
more points in the third quarter alone then they did in the entire first half
(14 points) but the St. Agnes post offense was too much to handle.
Scoring for the lady cougars was handled entirely by three
players. Junior Leslly Marmolejo led the team with 14 points of her own.
Seniors Xena Andersen and Dominique Bratton added 10 points each using their
outside shooting prowess.
The team fell short in this one but had the opportunity to
bounce back with consolation game Sunday, December 8. Their record to this
point in the season stands at 0-3 but it is still early.
