Lady Wolves improve to 13-2

The Warm Springs girls basketball team won two games last week, improving to 13-2 on the year.

"I am really proud of this team," said Warm Springs coach Jeff Derby. "Even when they aren't playing their best they find a way to win. I guess that is because they work really hard and have good attitudes."

The Wolves opened the week with a 43-32 win over Hedgesville Middle School, on Monday, January 29, in Hedgesville.

Warm Springs narrowly led after the first quarter 10-9 and then opened things up with a 17-point, second quarter, to take a 27-13 lead into the half-time intermission.

The Wolves cooled off some in the third quarter, scoring only six points, but the Patriots were only able to reduce the deficit by three points and headed into the fourth quarter, trailing by 11 points, 33-22.

Warm Springs and Spring Mills traded baskets during the final quarter of play as Warm Springs prevailed 43-32.

Diedra Burch led the Wolves with 21 points, teammate Harley Stotler added 10, Chelsea Hessler eight and McKenzie Ambrose four to the Warm Spring total.
