The North Star Wolves senior girls basketball team started the season off last week with mixed results.
The Wolves played both of their games on their home court in Amherstburg last week, the first game being a 46-14 win over the Walkerville Tartans last Tuesday evening. June Buchner led the way with 12 points while Tyler Lamarche scored nine points.
“I thought it was a good first game,” said North Star coach Dom Silvaggio.
The aggressiveness was good early in the game, he added, but the Wolves have to continue to play hard all the way through. The intensity is something they need to learn how to maintain for 32 minutes.
“They are young,” said Silvaggio, noting four Grade 10 players were brought up so there could be a senior team this year.
Silvaggio said there are no expectations placed on this year’s senior Wolves squad. He said there is a big learning curve they have to get through first.
“They have a lot to learn,” he said.
Silvaggio is calling for a commitment to attend practices and games, with the hope that improvement occur throughout the WECSSAA Tier 2 season.
Emily McGuire was happy with the opening game.
“It was a really good game,” she said.
McGuire said they need to work on their communication during games.
Lamarche agreed, though the win in the opening game was good for their confidence.
The second game of the season didn’t go as well for the Wolves. The Herman Green Griffins came to town and left with a 54-27 win over North Star.
The senior girls basketball team has two games this week, both on the road. They were at Brennan Tuesday night, after this issue of the River Town Times went to press. They are in Belle River Thursday for a 5 p.m. game. Next week, they are at Assumption at 4 p.m. before returning home Oct. 10 for a 5:30 p.m. game against the Kennedy Clippers.
