MEMORIAL DAY CLASSIC
TEAM WI SELECT SAMUELS 52,
TEAM WI SELECT DOUCETTE 50 OT
Team WI Select Samuels rallied from five down with less than a minute to go to tie the game and then pushed through in the two minute overtime for a dramatic 52-50 win over their sister squad. TWS Doucette led from the opening tip in a heart breaker. A few weeks earlier in the Wisconsin AAU State Tournament TWSS beat TWSD by 25.
TWSD changed their line up for the start of the game with Katey Wrobel jumping agains
t Nicole Griffin. The smaller Wrobel controlled the tip and Kaycee Charette scored a lay up off the jump. TWSD would not trail the entire first half. TWSD jumped out to a 9-2 lead despite one time out from TWSS. Wrobel was the impact player in the first portion of the game. She directly attacked Griffin and got her in to foul problems. Griffin had to sit a majority of the first half. TWSS was forced to burn another time out after a lay up by Brittany Gregorich with 5:40 to go in the half and trailing 24-11. That was to be the widest deficit TWSS faced. Heather Kessler, two possessions later knocked down a three from the top of the key to start to turn the tide for TWSS. TWSS outscored their rivals 17-10 the rest of the half. A pair of Sams were the leading scorers at half for both teams--Barber had 14 for TWSD, Hoyt had 12 for TWSS.
The change in the second half was a ramped up defense, and Griffin not sitting for TWSS. In the first half TWSD had a 103.0 pp100. The start of the second half TWSD went 0/7 on their possessions and TWSS tied it up at 34. A steal and a lay up by Laura Petersen gave TWSS a brief 37-36 lead. A three by Cate Scholfield put TWSD back in front 39-37. That is where TWSD would stay, stretching their lead out to five. With 3:24 left Charette made two free throws to put TWSD up 48-43. Neither team would score in the next 8 possessions combined. TWSD wouldn't score again until overtime. With 2:15 TWSD went into a delay game. TWSS was forced to foul, but they were no where near close to the bonus. Hannah Betz made a key steal, but TWSS missed the shot. Another TWSD passing turnover gave the ball back to Samuels team. With the ball underneath
their own basket, Sam Hoyt passed over to Petersen for a three in the right corner. A quick time out with 47.2 seconds left made the score 48-46. Katie Wolff was fouled at the other end, but didn't convert the front end. Sam Price got the rebound. The ball went into the 6-6 Griffin and she was bumped, jostled and harassed. She missed the first shot, picked the ball off the floor and scored and was fouled. She did not finish off TWSD in
regulation however. Her free throw missed and Wolff tried a desperation heave that didn't drop. On to overtime.
Again, just like at the start of the game, Doucette won the tip. Sam Barber scored the lay up. After that TWSD was dry. On the first TWSS possession in overtime Griffin was fouled and made the first of two free throws. Barber missed a shot at the other end and Griffin controlled the board. Again on an out of bounds play it was Petersen sticking the game winner from the right corner from downtown with 28 seconds left. TWSD had two more possessions, but didn't convert. TWSS remains undefeated.
