WALKER – The Nevis girls basketball team was able to avenge an overtime loss to Walker-Hackensack-Akeley a week earlier by taking control early in a 52-34 Northwoods Conference and Section 5A West victory on Monday, Jan. 30.
Nevis, which lost to the Wolves 53-50 in double overtime on Jan. 23, jumped out to a 10-0 lead and built a 31-8 advantage at the break in coasting to the win.
A pair of 3-pointers by Mya Stacey helped provide the 10-0 lead while another 3-pointer and a three-point play by Stacey along with three layups by Liddy DeWulf and two baskets by Ava Forbes led to the 23-point halftime advantage.
