Another game without a starter, Lady ‘Cats lose at East GR

Parrish Hudson

“If it wasn’t for bad luck,” the Lady ‘Cats basketball team “wouldn’t have no luck at all.”

The Wayland girls had to play one of the top Class A teams in the state at East Grand Rapids without their point guard and second leading scorer, junior Parrish Hudson, who was sidelined by a concussion she suffered in the victory Tuesday over Wyoming.

So it wasn’t all that surprising the Lady Wildcats were doubled up 72-36.

The two teams were knotted at 8-8 at the end of the first quarter, but then East went on a 22-5 run in the second period to take a commanding 30-13 advantage into the intermission.

Junior pivot Stephanie Ainsworth, who missed two ballgames because of an injury a couple of weeks ago, led Wayland with 17 points. Sophomore Emma Ludema added seven and Mady Terry and Kenzie Wolf had five apiece.

The Lady Wildcats now are 11-6 overall for the season.

Laster in the evening, the improving Wayland boys’ basketball team suffered its second single-digit loss in its last three contests, 58-52 to an East Grand Rapids team that now sports an overall record of 12-4.
