Wausau Pilot & Review
WAUSAU – The Wausau West girls basketball team locked up no worse than a share of the Wisconsin Valley Conference title with a 68-38 win over Stevens Point on Friday night at West High School.
West ran out to a 33-12 lead after a dominant first and were able to hold on from there to earn a second-straight WVC championship.
Kenzie Deaton scored 20 points, Kelly Kray added 12 points, and Molly Anderson had a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Warriors (18-4, 11-0 Wisconsin Valley Conference).
Emma Jossie scored 15 points and Zoe Fink added 11 for Stevens Point (9-13, 6-5 WVC).
Stevens Point finishes its regular-season schedule next week with a nonconference game against New London on Monday and its WVC finale against Marshfield on Thursday, both at home.
West plays a nonconference home game against Appleton West on Tuesday before traveling to Wisconsin Rapids on Thursday as it looks to finish off an undefeated outright Valley title. The West-Rapids game will be broadcast live at zaleskisports.com beginning at 7:15 p.m.
