Senior Girls Basketball

On Wednesday, September 19, the senior girls basketball team opened the Huron-Perth season at home versus South Huron. The team had a poor start in the first quarter, falling behind 11-3.  However the girls started to apply strong defensive pressure and adjusted to South Huron’s zone defense and were down only 3, 14 - 17, at the half.  The Salukis continued to play well in the second and won 34 - 31.

This past weekend the senior girls traveled to the Ridley College tournament in St Catherines. In their first game on Friday, Sept 21, the Salukis played Parkside from Dundas.  The team started slowly and although down at the half, was able to tie the game 18-18 in the third quarter.  Parkside went on a hot streak in the last quarter and won a low scoring game 29-20.  Eight players scored in the game. St Marys then played their next game on the consolation side of the draw against A.N. Meyer from Niagara Falls.  Down 11-2 after one quarter, St Marys increased their defensive pressure over the remaining three quarters and displayed great teamwork in losing 53-37.  In their final game of the tournament, St Marys played Holy Cross from St Catherines and again used great defense and made their foul shoots to stay in the game until they were able to go ahead late in the game and won 41-40.

Team members are Brittany Sterkenburg, Andrea Payton, Lauren Stacey, Catherine Wallis, Brittanie Bailey, Stacey Anderson, Jessica Jones, Stephanie Hairsine, Amy Switzer, Sarah Kennedy, Elline Haanstra. Coaches are Andy Hairsine and Scott Shaddick.

Next league game is at CHSS in Clinton on Wednesday, Sept 27.  The team travels to Toronto this weekend for the U of T tournament.
