Emerging from halftime the Wykons controlled the game and scored 14 points in the third quarter compared to the Flivvers 6.
The game swung West Iron’s way and finished with Danica Shamion scoring an impressive six points in the fourth quarter.
Coach Shamion was excited to see his team’s effort after the Christmas break. “Although we struggled with turnovers, we made a nice run in the third quarter and hopefully we can build off this victory.”
Danica Shamion led the team with 13 points, followed by Harty (8), Pellizer (7), Stine (6) and Guzowski (5). With a cadre of contributors, the team once again showed they were well prepared and ready to compete!
