With the victory, the Lady Wreckers advance to the quarterfinals of the
2005 Division LL Basketball Tournament.
Staples’ stingy defense, and 22 points and eight rebounds from Kelly Romano were keys to the win. The game marked the final home performances from senior co-captains Jackie Printz and Michelle Shea.
On Saturday, Staples will take on Manchester High School, an 83-48 winner over Newtown. Manchester promises to be quite a challenge, as they are undefeated and the top ranked team in the state.
The game will take place at 7:45 p.m. at Sheehan High School in Wallingford.
Another Super Team effort punctuated by outstanding pressure defense, smart ball handling, unselfish passing and stellar coaching. Congratulations to a great group of girls who work hard while having fun. Special thanks to all of the football players and fans who turned out to support their Staples classmates. The crowd definitely gave the Team extra energy. Next game is at Sheehan High School in Wallingford, CT Saturday March 5th at 7:45 PM against Manchester High School. Although Manchester is undefeated, no Team is unbeatable and, if Staples brings their �A� game and get their �Game Face� on from the opening tap, Manchester may just their season at 22-1.
