Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy JV Boys Basketball team was back in action, for the first game out of Christmas break, to take on the Grizzlies of Clover Garden School in a non conference game Monday evening. The Bulldogs won the opening tip, but failed to score on their first possession and then promptly rotated too slowly on defense and gave up a corner 3 to give Clover Garden an early 3-0 lead. This would, however, prove to be the Grizzlies only lead of the game as Westover went on a 13-1 run to close the quarter up 13-4. The Bulldogs were sparked by their full court defense which Clover Garden struggled with throughout the first half. WCA was able to force the Grizzlies into numerous turnovers leading to some transition opportunities.
The 2nd quarter would witness the Bulldogs stretch their lead out to 15 by halftime at 24-9. The third quarter would be the best for Westover as they outscored their opponents 15-8 and ended the frame up 22 at 39-17. The beginning of the 4th period saw WCA stretch out their lead to 25 points at 48-23 before the Grizzlies scored the final 10 points of the game. The Bulldogs had their best shooting game of the season from behind the arc going an outstanding 8-17 for 47%. WCA was led in scoring by Isaac VonEime who had 13 points, 4 deflections and 2 steals. Ashton Bettendorf had 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, while Blake Barber came off the bench to score 9 points. Luke Barber and Tyler Hughes both had 6 points on 2 made 3's apiece. Dallas Wheeler had 5 points. With the win WCA improves to 5-1 on the season. We are back in action Friday night on the road at 5pm against the Tornados of Timberlake Christian. The two teams met back on December 5th with the Bulldogs winning 61-31.
K2 is working on scissor skills today!
We are so happy to be back with our friends in kindergarten. Happy New Year!
