SANTEE (12-1-15) — West Hills proved that it is going to be a primary contender for league and post-season honors during Monday’s (Nov. 30) non-league romp over visiting Mt. Carmel, 63-33.

“For the first game out of the gate I thought the girls played well,” said Wolf Pack coach RYAN KINSER. “There’s a few things we need to fix but overall pretty good. For the most part we limited their best player. She’s pretty good.”

MAYA CLEMONS played well and had a career high 22 points, hitting 10 of 12 shots from the field to hoist the Wolf Pack’s overall shooting percentage to .444.

HELIX 69, MIRA MESA 52 – Despite the defection of one of their key players, the Highlanders proved they can still put the ball in the hole.

EMMA KUBARI and SHANICE LACY each scored a field goal for 2 apiece.
