D-W Girls drop opener in holiday tournament, 57-47

MILTON-FREEWATER—The Dayton-Waitsburg girls varsity basketball team played in a holiday tournament Friday the 27th at McLoughlin High School in Milton-Freewater against Irrigon. D-W started off the game shooting 2-19 from the field in the first quarter with all five points coming from Sadie Seney. D-W would chip away at the lead in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, with a balanced scoring attack bringing the score to 40-32 Irrigon at the end of the 3rd quarter. However, a big game by JaLay Burns leading all scorers with 34, proved to be too much for D-W to overcome. The girls did manage to out-rebound Irrigon 27-25 but turnovers once again were their undoing. Their 29 turnovers were nearly twice Irrigon’s 15.
