The St. Louis Cardinals 5th Grade Girls Basketball team played their 1st game of the season tonight at St. Mary’s in North Vernon and were defeated by a score of 18-11.
It was a very competitive, close game all night which saw the Cardinals down by only three points late in the second half of the game. Aside from a few costly turnovers and some first game anxiety, the team played really well!
The team was led in scoring by Claire Saner (6), Sadie Wachsmann (3), Lilly Schebler (2). Another key aspect of the game was the effort of Kate Weber, Isabelle Wonnell, Izzi Price, Lea Cossentino and Isabel Fitzgerald who all played really aggressive defense!
The next game will be Monday, January 23rd at home against St. Michael’s.
