Before the season’s opening tip, Waite girls basketball coach Manny May told
The Press that his team would need to improve on a few things from last year if it hoped to erase last year’s three losses in three tries against 2009 City League champ Start and win the conference title.
“Defense wins championships,” May said in the team season preview. “We have to cut down on turnovers and make our free throws.”
Over two months later, with the Lady Spartans ranked second in Ohio Division I and the Lady Indians sixth, Waite proved its coach correct at the Grant Murray Field House with a resounding 66-46 rout in the first of what many expect to be three meetings.
To keep up with the crowds, Waite might have to put back the bleachers that were sold to Toledo Christian School. Between the current seating and court, there used to be bleachers, which if returned would increase the seating.
Over 2,800 spectators, the largest crowd in City League girls’ basketball history, witnessed Lady Indians senior star F/C Natasha Howard and upstart junior point guard Brooke Hunt key the unexpected romp.
The 5-5 Hunt (16 points, six assists, six rebounds, six rebounds) provided the opening spark, draining a three-pointer and dishing out five of her assists to three different scorers as the Indians opened up a 17-10 first quarter lead. She went on to contribute 13 more points before the final buzzer and had five rebounds by halftime.
