Lady Wildcats win big over Calvary Lutheran in opener

Senior forward Chelsea Wiler led all players with 17 points while sophomore guard Shelby Bailey put in 16 points in a season-opening 90-15 win for the Lady Wildcats over Calvary Lutheran on Monday night.

A quartet of New Bloomfield players - senior guards Jessica Hazelhorst and Ashtin Withers, sophomore guard Bethany Craighead and freshman center Brooke Kelley - all had 10 points.

The Lady Wildcats led 51-11 at halftime and hit nine 3-pointers, with Wiler and Bailey hitting four and three respectively.

"They (Calvary Lutheran) stayed back in the zone so we hit some shots," New Bloomfield head coach Brett Craighead said. "It was a good win to get some confidence starting off, but we have a tough one against Hallsville so we'll have to regroup and get ready for them."

The Lady Wildcats (1-0) host Hallsville tonight at 5 p.m.
