Sr Wolves enter WECSSAA “AA” basketball playoffs in first place
The North Star Wolves senior girls basketball team entered the playoffs in first place after a pair of wins last week.
The Wolves opened the week with a 33-22 over the Erie Migration Coyotes in Kingsville Nov 3.
Aria Pare led North Star with 12 points while June Buchner scored ten.
They returned to Amherstburg the following afternoon in a battle for first place against Tecumseh Vista Academy, with the Wolves winning 42-29.
Tyler Lamarche scored 12 points for North Star while Emily McGuire and Buchner scoring nine and eight points respectively.
“I thought we played well; our defence was very good,” said North Star head coach Dom Silvaggio after the Nov. 4 game versus Tecumseh Vista Academy.
“The only thing I thought we did poorly was finishing our layups and put backs on offensive rebounds. Unfortunately we lost Lexi Gignac for the year as she broke her arm in the game.”
Silvaggio said the Wolves entered the playoffs shorthanded with a couple of injuries “so we can’t get into foul trouble or have anyone else not being able to play.”
“The playoffs will be tough as there were six teams within two games of each other and then L’Essor dropping down from Tier 1,” said Silvaggio. “We are happy to end up in first place but we have a lot of work left to get to where we want to get to.”
North Star opened the playoffs Monday evening with a home game against the Assumption Purple Raiders. The XXXXXXXX advanced to Wednesday’s semi-final with a XX-XX victory. The winner of the semi-final game advances to the WECSSSAA “AA” final game this Friday night.
