The Winnebago Girls defeated Wakefield 63-36 last Monday night in the C2-3 Sub District Play-In Game at Pender before losing 78-41 to Guardian Angels Central Catholic last Tuesday night.
The Indians led the Trojans 15-8 at the end of one. Winnebago outscored Wakefield 20-9 in the second quarter to lead 35-17 at halftime.
The Indians won the third quarter 14-9 to make it a 49-26 game at the end of three.
Winnebago notched 14 fourth quarter points compared to 10 for the Trojans.
Delicia Payer led the way with 16 points while Kae Earth notched 15 points and 10 rebounds, good enough for a double-double. Illeana Frenchman added 14 points.
The Bluejays led the Indians 15-10 after one. GACC won the second quarter 19-10 to go up 34-20 at halftime.
The Bluejays outscored Winnebago 25-5 in the third quarter to lead 59-25 at the end of three.
GACC put up 19 fourth quarter points compared to 16 for the Indians.
It wasn't the most ideal season for Winnebago, but I felt like the Indians still had a somewhat respectable season.
Winnebago finished the season at 8-17.
The Indians graduate just one senior in Frenchman.
She is a significant loss, but Winnebago has to be really excited about all the talent they bring back.
Returning for the Indians is Isabel Earth, Evah Appleton, Jasmine Colvin, Payer, Kae Earth, and others.
I think Winnebago has a chance to be really competitive next season. The Indians return a good core and should be in most of their games a year from now.
I didn't realize until now how young Winnebago was this season. The Indians certainly took their lumps and paid their dues this season, but it should only make this team stronger in the future.
The returning players and newcomers should be excited and motivated to get in the gym and weightroom this offseason.
Perhaps the Winnebago girls can take a page out of the boys' book and make a run to state next season.
A lot of time has to be put in for that to become a reality, but the pieces appear to be in place for the Indians to make a run next season.
Winnebago has a bright future, in my opinion. These girls will all be a year older and a year more mature.
I think next season has a chance to be special for the Indians, but Winnebago has to work their tails off this offseason.
