The Lady Chiefs with their home opener came out hoping for a big win on their home court. A season ago, Grosse Ile was our opening game and it was a very lopsided game with the Red Devils taking the W. A year later, and much improved, the Chiefs set their sights on a victory. 

The first quarter the Red Devils jumped out to an early lead. We fell behind 12-9. The goal is always to keep it close by half and be within striking distance. The second quarter we cut their points in half only allowing 6 for the quarter, but only scoring 4 ourselves. Going into half time we found ourselves behind 13-18. Which we felt good about. We were starting to play better defense and the nerves were settling down. McFadden had 8 points to lead us in the first half, with Semone, Welch, and Bossick all adding a free throw. Conley hit a big bucket late in the second. 

Third quarter started off hot. We were able to increase the pressure on defense and started using a double team on their Point Guard. Ava Russow did a great job with defense shutting her down. We held them to 8 points that quarter and we put up 12. McFadden again leading the way with 6 of the 12, Bossick with 4, and Russow with a big bucket. Coming into the fourth quarter we within one point and the kids ran away with the game. Mcfadden had 5, giving her a season high 19 on the day. Welch and Semone hit a huge bucket each and it helped rally the Chiefs past the Red Devils. The story of the game though was our shut down defense. Allowing only 1 point to be had by Grosee Ile in the fourth. 

Very proud of how the kids stepped up. It was a team win!
