Girls Varsity Basketball vs Fillmore

January 11, 2017

The Cate girls varsity basketball team played a tough game on the road against the Fillmore Flashes on Saturday, January 7. Cate came out of the gates on fire, but couldn’t maintain that momentum en route to a 48-27 loss.

The Rams started strong, dominating the offensive end and containing at the defensive end. As the game continued, the Rams ran out of gas and a savvy Fillmore side took advantage of that. The Flashes got hot from behind the arc and never looked back.

Elle Smith ’19 did a great job creating her shot and ended the game with eight points. Amber Thiery ’17 ran the offense and kept the composed and finished the game with seven points. Offense was certainly a team effort for Cate, with Maisie Oswald ’18, Sarah Polowczak ’19, Daphne McKeefry ’19, Maya Blattberg ’20, Morgan Prinz ’17, and Piper Brooks ’20 each scoring two points.

“Though the Rams did not pull out a win today, the future looks bright. We got tired, but executed offensively and learned the importance of boxing out under the basket,” said Cate Head Coach Amy Venditta.

The Rams play at home against Grace Brethren on Tuesday, January 10 at 5 p.m.
