The Wolverines started the road to the championship game by
defeating Mount Pulaski 38-23 on Saturday. Brook Soebbing led the Lady
Wolverines in scoring with 12 points while Kate Benner added six and
Emily Martinez added five. Lily Pickett led Mount Pulaski in scoring with
12 and Rentmeister added nine. The Lady Wolverines were led in
rebounding by Soebbing with 12 boards and Benner
with nine. Soebbing also led in steals with five and Kaylyn
Hoffert had four. The eighth-grade Lady Wolverine team was ready to make their mark in
school history yet again. Last year this team won their first-ever
regional title, and this year one of their goals was to win county,
which has not been done by a Lady Wolverine basketball team since
2001.
The Lady Wolverines started out slowly but pulled their game
together after the half to defeat Zion Lutheran by a score of
23-18. Brook Soebbing led all scoring with nine points while Kaylyn Hoffert
added six and Kate Benner four for the Lady Wolverines. Rachel Lockenner
and Lexi Groves each had six points to lead the Zion Lutheran team. As
for rebounding, Benner pulled down 11 boards as well as four
steals. Hoffert added eight steals and Kaelyn Froebe had four.
With this win the eighth-grade Lady Wolverines improve their record
to 11-3 on the season. Both the seventh- and eighth-grade teams will be back
at it on Wednesday against Springfield Little Flower.
The Lady Wolverine basketball team is also hosting a "Pack the Place
Night" on Nov. 14 against Bloomington Cornerstone. Come
out and support your Lady Wolverine basketball teams. Games start at
6 p.m.
