Erin Hall swoops to two of her 16 points

Wesleyan Coach Jan Azar got the 300th win of her career as Wesleyan defeated Loganville 64-47 Saturday night at Wesleyan.  Loganville kept things close for most of the first half but the Lady Wolves gained a 20-point advantage late in the third quarter.   Loganville whittled the Wesleyan lead down to 11 with 4 minutes to go but the Lady Wolves did a nice job of changing the pace of the game, got few defensive stops and scores and increased the lead to it 17-point final margin.  The milestone 300th win in the head coaching career of Jan Azar was secure.  On hand for the occasion were nine former Wesleyan players Dana Birnie (2001), Anna Sheppard (2002), Jenny Hall (2002), Nikki Luckhurst (2004), Mary Stephenson (2004), Laura Luckhurst (2005), Carolyn Whitney (2006), Elise Whitney (2006), and Alison Watt (2006).  Also on hand were many former players parents as Caoch Azar was presented roses and other items celebrating the occasion.  Holli Wilkins led the current Lady Wolves in scoring as she put up 22 points and had six rebounds.  Erin Hall added 16 points, five steals, five boards and five assists for Wesleyan.  Tonight's win was also significant in that Wesleyan is off to its best start in school history with a 7-0 record besting the 2000-2001 Lady Wolves' 6-0 start.  Wesleyan will now have a week off as they do not play again until Saturday, December 19th when they'll face Norfolk Christian (VA) in the first round of the Crescent Bank Classic in Myrtle Beach, SC.  Tipoff is 8:45 PM.

29-0 run sends AAAAA No. 8 Chattahoochee down the river, Lady Wolves roll 67-44

Brittany Stevens hits her stride vs. Chattahoochee
Class 1A No. 1 ranked Wesleyan defeated Class 5A No. 8 ranked Chattahoochee 67-44 Saturday night in the final game of the Peachstate Battle of the Southeast hosted by Wesleyan.  The event featured four games that pitted some of the best teams in Georgia and around the Southeast.  The first quarter was mostly back and forth as Wesleyan led 12-11 at the end of one.  All 11 of Chattahoochee's points in the quarter were scored by junior Erika Ford.  The second quarter featured more back and forth with neither team making any strides to pull ahead.  Then it happened.  Chattahoochee led 20-19 with just under three minutes left in the second quarter when Wesleyan locked down defensively and scored nine quick points off its press within about a 30-second span which prompted a Chattahoochee time out.  Didn't matter.  Wesleyan scored the next nine points and closed the quarter on an 18-0 run.  The Lady Wolves went from being down one with under three minutes to go in the half to enjoying a 17-point cushion at halftime leading 37-20.   The third quarter started the same as the second ended.  Wesleyan held Chattahoochee scoreless for the first four minutes of the quarter while scoring the first 11 points of the quarter and opened a huge 48-20 lead.  Ford hit two free throws with 4:10 left in the quarter to stop the bleeding and Wesleyan's run ended at 29 straight points.  The damage was done however and the Lady Wolves cruised the rest of the way.  Ford, who has already committed to Georgia, led all scorers with 29 points which accounted for 66% of her team's total.  Ford however, will probably have nightmares about Wesleyan sophomore Jordan Frazier who picked her pocket four times tonight.  Frazier had a spectacular game as she hounded Ford for much of the night constantly disrupting her rhythm.  She had 11 points and four steals.  Erin Hall led the scoring for Wesleyan with 20 points.  Holli Wilkins added 12 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots.  The Lady Wolves are now 5-0 for the year with three wins over Class 5A schools, two ranked in the top 10, and two wins over Class 4A schools.  They continue this four game homestand next Friday as they host Mt. Pisgah in the first region game of the year.  Tipoff is 7:00 PM.

Sloppy Lady Wolves pound Hardaway 84-47

Holli Wilkins grabs one of her seven boards

Wesleyan had no trouble with pereninal Class 4A power Hardaway Friday night in the first home game of the 2009-2010 season.  The Lady Wolves turned a 14-point halftime lead into a 58-31 rout heading into the fourth quarter.  The final result was a resounding 84-47 win.  Hardaway, which went 24-5 last season en route to the quarterfinals of the 4A state tournament, fell behind in the first half and things snowballed in the second.  Wesleyan was somewhat sloppy and less under control than desired as they had too many turnovers and missed some easy scoring opportunities.  This was a pretty typical early season performance however as the Lady Wolves usually hit their stride at mid-season.  This was still a quality win over a quality opponent.  The Lady Wolves controlled the tempo the entire game and continually ran five in and five out and simply wore down the opposition.  Erin Hall had 18 points, six assists and six steals in the win.  Holli Wilkins' three-game double-double streak came to end tonight but she still put up solid numbers scoring 16 points while grabbing seven rebounds.  Grace Leah Baughn picked up tonight's double-double as she had 12 points and 10 boards.  Kaelyn Causwell had the best offensive night of her young career scoring 10 points while pulling down seven rebounds.  Wesleyan improves to 4-0 on the year and will next face Class 5A, No. 8 ranked Chattahoochee tomorrow night at 5:00 PM at Wesleyan.

Wesleyan wins Turkey Shootout championship, topples Class 5A No. 9 ranked North Cobb 60-53

Holli Wilkins averaged a double-double in South Forsyth tourney

Class 1A No. 1 ranked Wesleyan defeated Class 5A No. 9 ranked North Cobb 60-53 in the championship game of the South Forsyth Turkey Shootout at South Forsyth High School Saturday night.  North Cobb led 14-10 at the end of the first quarter and the Lady Wolves found themselves down by eight midway through the second.  Erin Hall hit a pair of threes on the way to scoring eight second quarter points which helped Wesleyan recover from North Cobb's run.  Wesleyan took a 31-30 lead into halftime.  The Lady Wolves tightened up defensively to begin the third quarter with Holli Wilkins leading the way.  She scored eight points in the quarter to help stretch the Wesleyan lead to 45-39 at the end of the third quarter.  The Lady Wolves did a good job of controlling the tempo and with ball control in the fourth quarter.  With a consistant 5-7 point lead being maintained, the Lady Wolves did a great job of moving the ball around while being chased by North Cobb defenders.  If caught and fouled however, chances were the free throws weren't going to go in.  Wesleyan was an abysmal 4 for 11 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.  The defense however did it's job on the other end  with every shot contested and either Wilkins or Kaelyn Causwell cleaning the glass on the defensive boards.  Wilkins recorded her third straight double-double as she had 21 points and 13 rebounds and earned All Tournament team honors.  Erin Hall had 19 points, six rebounds and four assists and was selected the tournament's Most Valuable Player.  Jordan Frazier scored six points while Aysia McKenzie had five assists and Causwell grabbed 10 rebounds.  With the tournament championship win, Wesleyan starts a season 3-0 for the first time since the 2000-2001 season.  North Cobb falls to 2-1.  The Lady Wolves next face Hardaway, a Class 4A school from Columbus, on Friday in its home opener.  Tipoff is 7:00 PM.

Lady Wolves advance to Turkey Shootout finals with 75-62 win over Cherokee

0910 Cherokee_Erin
Erin Hall scored 24 in semi-final win over Cherokee

Most teams that commit 21 turnovers in the first half of a game usually don't end up with a win and certainly not a double-digit win but that's exactly what Wesleyan did Wednesday night.  The Lady Wolves defeated Cherokee 75-62 in the semi-final round of the South Forsyth Turkey Shootout after a horrid first half.  Wesleyan led 17-14 at the end of the first quarter and held a 31-23 lead with about 2 minutes left in the second when an avalanche of turnovers and fast break points allowed Cherokee to close the gap.  They ended the half on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 31-30 at the break.  Wesleyan came out in the second quarter with much more intensity and obvious focus.  They reduced the turnovers and upped the defensive pressure which led to easy scoring opportunities.  Wesleyan outscored Cherokee 23-14 in the quarter to open a 54-44 lead heading into the fourth.  The lead grew to 20 points late in the quarter when the turnover bug made another appearance but the game was already well in hand.  Erin Hall led the scoring for Wesleyan as she scored 24 points including four three-pointers.  Holli Wilkins had another strong performance as she pumped in 18 points and is fast becoming a player other teams are going to have a tough time dealing with.  Kennington Groff scored 12 points including three three-pointers.  Logan Morris added nine points for the Lady Wolves.  With the win, Wesleyan improves to 2-0 on the young season and advances to the tournament championship game where they will face Class 5A No. 9 ranked North Cobb (2-0).  The championship game will be at 6:00 PM Saturday night at South Forsyth.  On a more sour note, Wesleyan freshman Katie Frerking tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in her knee in Wesleyan's first game of the season against Hillgrove.  She will be out for the remainder of the season.  We all wish Katie a speedy and healthy recovery.
