Jason WinchellHeadlines, Sports

The girls basketball season saw some great games last week as conference games provided some upsets as the season ramps back up after the holiday break. 

 

Wilmington Friends won the Quaker Classic over the weekend. They defeated Seaford 57-49 behind 19 points from Izzy Winchell. She made 5 triples and led a balanced Quakers team.to the tournament title.

 

The Padua Pandas picked up their sixth win of the season over the weekend in their first 8 games. They were 7-13 last season, just missing the state tournament. They will have some tough games coming up in the next couple of weeks but should match their win total from last year soon.

 

There are no undefeated teams left in the state but there are 9 teams heading into this week with just one loss. Saint Mark’s is one of them, but they have a gauntlet of tough games coming up against ranked teams including Padua, St Elizabeth, Wilmington Friends and Ursuline.
