GOOD-KNIGHT!
GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL SLAYS NICOLET
November 26, 2019, GLENDALE, WISC. – Our Lady Highlander basketballers kicked off the season with a confidence-building “W” against the “usually you think you can beat” Nicolet Knights, 54-63. Immediately after the tip, the Knights came out charging, taking a healthy lead and holding us to 0 points. It was only after a team mom yelled, “c’mon, break the seal,” that Homestead got on the board, ending the half down by 2. The second half was a slug fest with both teams in double-bonus. Little by little, as we pulled ahead, the Knights’ confidence-armor diminished. At one point, the opposing coach was overhead anti-motivating her team by exclaiming, “there’s only one upper classman out there right now!” The final minutes consisted of Homestead running out the clock and making free throws.
This season’s roster consists of 12 players: 3 seniors, 5 juniors, 1 sophomore and 3 freshies (known by their HBC coach as the “tripod” [pictured]). We’re very happy to see our 7 returning rockstars: Lexi Buzzell, McKenna Marotta, Grace Mueller, Mia Patel, Chloe Sileno, Braylin Smith and Daja Young. Congratulations shout-outs to our newest additions to Varsity Girls Basketball: Stella Kim (So.), Delaney Buzzell (Fr.), Kate Judd (Fr.) and Zoe Mueller (Fr.). Plus, a big welcome to Khendel Rolison (Jr.), who moved into the District this summer from Cedarburg, of whose girls’ basketball team will definitely be feeling the loss. The team is led by fan fav Head Coach Corey Wolf, returning Assistant Coaches Deb Segebrecht and Shaudra Randolph, plus a bonus add of Kellie Baran.
Scoring for the Highlanders in the opener was: Grace with 26, Khendel with 17, Delaney with 6, Zoe with 6, Daja with 5 and Chloe got 3. Congratulations to Khendel and freshmens Delaney and Zoe for getting in the Var books! It’s going to be a long season, so expect to see big things from everyone. There’s isn’t a team in the conference that we can’t beat. You heard it here first. GO HOMESTEAD!
