Turnovers plague Lady Bulldogs

A talented Glacier team gave the Lady

Bulldogs all they could handle Friday night in Whitefish. The Class

AA Wolfpack held Whitefish to two points in the first half as they

sprinted to a lopsided 47-8 victory.

Nine different players scored for

Glacier, led by Cassidy Hashley’s 13 points.

Ashlee Brewer put in a good effort for

Whitefish and finished with four points, all earned from the foul

line. Taylor Havens and Shannon Craft each made a two-point field

goal.

Glacier’s smothering defense forced 34

Whitefish turnovers, which led to easy points. Whitefish coach Sean

Duff said it was the rebounding that killed their chances.

Whitefish allowed 25 offensive rebounds, an area where they

typically excel.

“We are so much better than the last

two games showed,” Duff said. “It’s just the basic things. They

panicked and there was a little intimidation against Glacier. They

took it to us.

“It’s good to play these games and see

what we have to improve on.”

Whitefish needs to improve on defense

to have a chance against sharpshooting teams.

“We have to play amazing defense and

keep opponents under 40,” Duff said. “Everything has to go right

for us to put 50-60 points on the board.”

The coach commended the play of

Brewer.

“She’s been doing a good job for us,”

he said.

The Lady Bulldogs (0-3, 0-0) hosted

Class AA Flathead Tuesday night. They host Bigfork Dec. 22 at 6

p.m. Duff looks for it to be a competitive game.

“It could be a great game for us,” he

said. “We need to get a win going into Christmas break.”
