Wardlaw Reaches Championship
Game
The Wardlaw-Hartridge School of Edison, girls' basketball team followed the example of their male counterpart by advancing to the finals of the Independent Schools B Division Tournament with a 3303 victory over Blair Academy of Blairstown in a semifinal game yesterday.
Junior forward Patty Feeney had 14 points to lead the Lady Rams, who took an 11-5 first-quarter lead and never looked back. Maria Wilson, a senior guard, added 10points for Wardlaw. Saturday, the Rams will meet the winner of this afternoon's Newark Academy-Gill St. Bernard's semifinal in Newark.
Successful has to be the word to describe the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team. It is the first year in a while that the team has had a winning season, in fact they almost reversed their record from last year, from 5-10 last year to 9-6 this year. The turn around has to be attributed to the determination of the gutsy 12 girl squad, led by senior Maria Wilson. It was this determination that was the driving force behind the girls that led the girls to the state finals. "Even though we did not capture the state championship title this year, I’m very proud of the accomplishments that the team has made this year.” One of those accomplishments was that the team was able to play together as a team throughout the season.
