Wetumpka welcomed in the Panthers of Elmore County on Thursday in a contest in which the Indians would win by a score of, 39-28.
The Indians boasted an array of playmakers on the floor and displayed multiple ways of being able to score and also cause turnovers.
“Fortunately for us, tonight showed us what we did well and what we need to improve on in the future,” coach Harriet Winchester said. “We were able to capitalize in many areas of the game and a lot of that was because of the excellent play from our younger players.”
One of those impressive younger players was Logan Banks, only a freshman, who achieved her first double-double of the season with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
“This is the first of many nights like this for Logan, and even though she played well, she still has not even reached her ceiling yet which is exciting,” Winchester said.
Banks was a force in the paint all night for the Indians as she was a presence down low utilizing her size and skill.
Jordan Harris also had a big night as the senior guard displayed an elite ability to shoot the ball beyond the arc as she finished with four three pointers and 14 points on the night.
“Jordan is our leader and she stepped up big for us, and she provides that on and off the court… her aggressive play allows others the confidence to play hard,” Winchester said.
The Indians are back in action on December 2nd at Tallassee.
