The Whitewater Whippets Girls’ Basketball Team played a conference game against Brodhead Friday night, February 10. We knew Brodhead’s ability to score inside and around the perimeter was going to make it a tough game defensively.
In the first half, we played aggressive defense inside which gave them more looks from the 3-point range. This gave them the scoring edge 14-30 going into the half. We adjusted our defense and worked our outside game in the second half, hitting seven of our eight 3-pointers the second half, matching them in points with 26 apiece. But, that deficit from the first half gave them the win, 40-56.
Danielle DePorter led the Whippets with 17 points, followed by Mayte Navejas with 8 points. Calli Grosinske added 7 points and 6 steals.
The girls travel to Evansville Monday night, February 13.
