The Lady Lumberjacks returned to action Tuesday night in Greenville, CA. After driving for 2 hours through the beautuful South Lassen wilderness, the game got underway at 5:15 p.m. in the Gym of Greenville Highschool.
One minute into the game, the scoreboard went dark. There was about a 5 minute officials time out. They almost had to go with a stop watch, but the scoreboard was revived, and the game resumed.
After the first, the lady lumberjacks led by 4, 10 to 6.
This reporter (also a team dad) got the impression that the officials were calling the game in a rather partisan manner. Calls were made against the lady lumberjacks, while they were not made against the Lady Pilots...but I digress.
At the half, the lady lumberjacks led by just two points, 16 to 14. Both teams, lacking the crisp passing and ball handling skills of the best teams, resorted to rather physical play.
After the third, the lumberjacks led by 11, 28 to 17. It was one of their best quarters all year, scoring 12 points. They would need all those points as their shooting turned cold in the fourth. How cold, you ask? Try..... ZERO.
They hung on to win however...with the final being 28 to 25. Part of that coldness was because of the fact that the lady lumberjacks only were at the free throw line for 5 shots all game and none in the second half. (Was the officiating to blame? You decide)
That puts their over all record at 3-5 for the season...and they are off to their best start ever.
Rebekah Widmer led the team with 9 points, with Natalie Hall adding 6 and Elizabeth Gruber scoring 5.
