Next basketball season will be one to track the Lady Raiders!
Wayne Trace took on Pettisville Blackbirds on Thursday, March 5 at Archbold. The game followed wins by both teams in the Sectional championship.
Wayne Trace took an early hit in the first quarter when they failed to hold down the Blackbirds offense, nearly doubling the Lady Raiders score. Gracie Gudakunst, Shayna Temple and Leah Sinn all had three-point baskets in this game.
The second quarter brought about a change for the Lady Raiders as they held the opponents score in check at 4, but they couldn’t post much either and the half ended at 11 – 19 in favor of Pettisville.
It was a game of celebration and one for the record books as Erin Mohr hit her 1000 point mark. Not only did she do this in her career, but she is the first female at Wayne Trace to achieve this in her junior year. This year totaled 456 and her career total is now at 1009. Fantastic for young Mohr!
The third period contributed to the score for Wayne Trace but still coulnd’t hit Pettisville points. The fourth quarter is the best for the Lady Raiders at 19-16. The last 30 seconds alone Wayne Trace added 5 points. If only they could have done this the rest of the game!
The game went to Pettisville at 40-49 points, who will continue to on to the District Championship game.
The Lady Raiders finished their season with a positive 16-9 record.
