Cards beat Wheeler in tough game
By A nne M orter
The lady Cardinals almost
proved to be their own undoing
on Saturday Jan. 22 when they
beat the Falcons 51-29 in the
Wheeler gym. historically a d if
ficult place to win for lone. With
the three leading scorers all
struggling in different ways and
18 percent shooting in the first
and third quarter, the lady Cards
relied on their'defertse W ke e p 1"!
them in the game. ,,;I1
The Card's leading scorer.
Melissa M cE llig o tt played,
although she was sick and wasn't
up to contributing much. Jamie
Lovett, the team's second
leading scorer spent much o f the
game in foul trouble, and the
team's third highest scorer,
April Taylor, had trouble finding
the basket in the early going.
The Cards led 8-7 at the end
o f the first quarter and 23-14 at
the half. The Falcons were
within seven at the end o f the
third period before the lady
Cards finally got rolling. A 22
point final period for the Cards
led to a 51-29 victory.
“ I knew it would hit sooner or
la t e r , " said coach Dana
Heideman o f the Cards cold
shooting night. He noted another
problem was the lady Cardinals
inability to execute against
Wheeler's zone defense.
A pril Taylor was high scorer
with 13 points, the majority
coming in the fourth quarter.
Suzie Heideman and Jamie
Lovett each added 12.
Heideman led with 10 re
bounds as the Cards out re
bounded Wheeler by a slim one
board margin. 31-30. “ Suzie did
a good job on the boards. She
kept us in the game.” com
mented coach Heideman. A pril
Taylor had six o f the team's 12
assists and Mary Jane McCarty
had five steals in the game.
The Cards ended up shooting
35 percent for the game. Fifty
percent shooting in the fourth
quarter helped bring up the
dismal averages o f the first and
third quarters. At the line, they
made just nine o f 22 for 4 1 per
cent. Wheeler had shooting
troubles o f its own, making 13
o f 43 for 30 percent from the
field and two o f 10 for 20 per
cent from the line.
Coach Heideman was glad to
leave Fossil w ith a w in .
“ Everytime I play there and
come out with a win. I feel pretty
good.” he said, noting that this
was just the second win he has
recorded in that gym during his
coaching stint with the lady
Cards.

Dana Heideman had a few
qualms about the defensive play,
he couldn't complain about the
offense, which scored over 70
points on both nights.
The inside game o f the lady

factor” in the win against Con

from the field, the Cardinals put
away the Blue Devils after a slow
first quarter.
Tawna Shannon o f Condon led
all scorers with 23 points, in
cluding four three-pointers. For
the Cards, Jamie Lovett topped
the scoring with 20 points on 10
of
14 shooting.
M elissa
McElligott added 17, missing on
ly four o f her 10 shots. The lady
Cards dominated the boards
37-18 and had nine assists to zero
for Condon. M cElligott led with
three.
The red hot Cardinals shot 30
o f 48 for a season high 62 per
cent. At the line, they connected
on 12 o f 20 for 60 percent. Con
don made 18 o f 58 for 37 percent
from the floor and 13 o f 19 for
68 percent from the field.
"W e handled the ball well. We
handled their pressure and mov
ed the ball w e ll,” commented
Heideman. "W e were a little
weak in the defensive department
but other than that, we played
pretty w e ll.”
