Girls’ basketball begins with two wins

With about two weeks of practice behind them, the Irish came out on St. John’s court on Tuesday, November 30, ready to fight and start the 2010-2011 basketball season off right.
Maple Lake began the game with senior Alyssa Redemske hitting a three-point shot, and the team never really looked back. The Irish controlled the game from the opening tip, using solid full-court, man-to-man defense and aggressive transition offense.  
“The girls did a great job of playing pressure defense which led to some easy baskets on the offensive end,” said Head Coach Adam Ronnenberg. 
Maple Lake carried a 25-point lead into the half by a score of 36-11. The second half proved to be more of the same. Thirteen of the fourteen players saw action for the Irish and nine of them got into the scoring column.
