The U16 Girls headed off to Stratford for their first two Ontario Basketball League (OBL) games on Saturday November 7.
In their first game of the season, the Hurricanes took on the Stathroy Spirit. The Huntsville squad started strong defensively but struggled to score missing several easy layups and free throws, despite this led 12 - 6 after one quarter. Their full court zone defense began to wear out the Spirit and the Hurricanes coasted to a 44 - 27 win. Lily Dixon (21 points), Pria Plexman (8) and Elisha Barrie (7) led the team in scoring.
In their second game of the day the opponent was the Wallaceberg Air Hawks. The Hurricanes dominated from the beginning of the game winning 56 - 17. Jordyn Earl (12 points), Dixon (9), Barrie (6) and 9 of the 10 players hitting the scoreboard. Tremendous team defense was the difference in the day.
The next OBL games for the U16 Girls are the weekend of December 12 & 13.
