Lady Wolves score double digit win over Mercer Island
The Eastlake Lady Wolves showcased their basketball prowess with a convincing 66-45 victory over the Mercer Island Islanders on January 10, 2025. The match began with Eastlake jumping to a quick 12-2 lead, thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers by Brooke McCartney and Megan Roberts. Mercer Island struggled to find their rhythm, particularly in the first half, where they only managed 14 points compared to Eastlake's 31. The Islanders found some momentum in the third quarter, scoring 16 points, but the Lady Wolves maintained control throughout the game. Notably, Maggie Bredeweg also contributed significantly to Eastlake's scoring.
Despite a late-game push by Mercer Island, including a 3-pointer from Dillyn Prescott, the deficit proved too great to overcome. The Lady Wolves' next challenge will be against the Redmond Mustangs on January 17, 2025, where they aim to build on their recent success. This game highlights the competitive spirit of local high school basketball and the continued development of young athletes in the region.
