Close, but no cigar for Lady Wildcats at GR Christian

Stephanie Ainsworth scored nine points and Sara VanderWeide (behind her) added eight for half of Wayland’s points.

The Wayland girls’ basketball team lost a very competitive defensive game at Grand Rapids Christian Friday evening, 36-34.

The Lady Wildcats pretty much stayed even with their hosts, being deadlocked 9-9 at the end of the first quarter and trailing only 18-14 and 26-23 at the end of the second and third periods.

Though the defense was strong, the offense struggled again, particularly at the free throw line, where the ‘Cats managed to sink only 8 of 22 attempts.

Stephanie Ainsworth again led Wayland with nine points and Sara VanderWeide added eight.

The Lady Wildcats, now 3-15 overall, will play Black River Thursday before opening district play Monday, March 4, against undefeated Hamilton at Hudsonville Unity Christian High School. Their non-league game with Hastings, scheduled for Tuesday, has been canceled.
