The girls’
basketball team demonstrated rock solid defense and unstoppable fast
breaks as the Mustangs defeated the Madison County Mountaineers by 29
points, 17-46. The ladies came out ready to play last night, jumping to
a first quarter 19-3 lead. A brand new 1-3-1 defense, that coach Dan
Wilkie added to the team’s arsenal the day before the game, proved too
sturdy for Madison to break.
While the team’s
mighty
defense stopped the opposition in their tracks on almost every
possession, it was Mason’s fast-breaking offense that knocked the
Mountaineers out of any chance of a comeback. Between Mason’s tireless
defense and constantly running offense Madison County had no chance.
Contributions to the team’s success came from every player that stepped
on the floor, but Maggie O’Toole’s 20 points were the most beneficial
accomplishment of the night.
After the game
coach Wilkie
said, "We did what we do best, we ran the floor, we played great
defense and we finished our shots. We had a great night. Plus, we
didn’t drive two hours in this cold weather to lose."
The Lady Mustangs
have three
games next week, two are at home, Tuesday against Clarke County and
Thursday against West Potomac, and the third is an away game at
Strasburg.
