The Timberwolves moved to 2-0 on the young season with a 55-9 win over the Vancouver Christian Light.
Morton/White Pass led 41-0 at the half and they scored the first 47 points of the game. They did their best to keep the score down using a running clock in the second half, never transitioning on any Vancouver Christian turnovers, and waiting until the shot clock was under 10 seconds to attempt a shot. They outscored the Light 14-9 in final two quarters.
“We started with a high intensity and I was glad to see that,” coach Lauren Kanyer said. “The girls did a great job of executing the offense.”
Freshman Ashley Kelly led the Timberwolves with nine points. Kayla Reynolds added eight, Nicole Anderson, Chelbi Eveland and Jade Lundy six apiece, Whitney Elledge five, Darian Atkinson and Jeanie Mullins four each, Maddy McCoy three and Victoria Ford and Stefana Bertucci two. They shot 36 percent for the game (25 of 70) and made 5 of 7 from the line (71 percent).
Bertucci grabbed a game-high seven rebounds with Lundy and Eveland getting six apiece. Eveland, along with Atkinson, also finished with four steals.
“Jade did a great job off the bench and kept the intensity up when she came in the game,” Kanyer said. “I love to see girls shoot and finish left-handed layups.”
