This Tuesday, MV’s girls basketball team started regional play at home against Bellevue. The Wildcats had a nice victory, 65-47.
“The toughest game in the tournament is always the first one,” stated Coach Moenck. “It was so nice to get the W at home in front of an awesome crowd! We’re very fortunate with the support our community gives our student athletes. I was very pleased with how we played this game. The girls came out with a lot of energy and it paid off. We executed on both ends of the floor. We didn’t turn the ball over very much and executed our sets on offense. I really thought we managed the game well. I would say this was our most complete game of the year against a very tough Bellevue team.”
Here are the game stats: Bianka Ronnebaum was on fire, leading the team in points with 25. Leah Reicher had 9 points and Jada Knipper had 8. Leah Reicher led the team in rebounds with 6, Haley Ronnebaum had 5, while Grace Richter, Bianka Ronnebaum, and Kada Knipper each had 4 rebounds. Assist leader for the game was Haley Ronnebaum with 5. Bianka Ronnebaum had 4 assists and Grace Richter had 2.
