Lady Devils open 2019-20 with a pair of wins

WYNOT — Wynot began the season with a veteran squad that aims to make a run at another state title.

The Lady Devils seemed to be right on track for that goal as they opened the season with a pair of lopsided wins.

On Thursday, Wynot easily dispatched Bloomfield to earn a 67-27 win, and then Friday they had little trouble taking care of business against the Winside Wildcats, 71-16.

Bloomfield’s one bright spot was Alexandra Eisenhower who took scoring honors for the game with her 15 points.

Wynot started out fast in this game. A pair of threes by Katelyn Heine and one each by Shaelee Planer and Autumn Lawson fueled a big push to give Wynot an early first quarter 26-6 lead.

The pace did not slow in the second quarter. The Queen Bees got five points from Alexandra Eisenhower and a pair of buckets from Katie Burnes. Wynot countered with a pair of treys by Michaela Lange, one each by Emersyn Sudbeck and Kaitlyn Heimes, and four points by Shaelee Planer, as they expanded their lead to 43-17 at halftime.

and some free throws to make the score 48-19 after three periods.

Jackie Escalante would show up in the second quarter and hit for seven points for the Lady Wildcats. Shaelee Planer rained in her second trey of the night, and balanced scoring helped the Lady Devils build on their lead to make the score 47-9 at halftime.
