WHS girls sweep Gilmanton, CC

A pair of convincing victories made it six in a row for the Whitehall girls basketball team.

The Norse opened the week with a 41-22 win over Gilmanton last week Tuesday before topping Coulee Christian/Providence 57-26 on Thursday.

The wins put Whitehall at 13-5 overall and they sit at 7-5 in Dairyland Conference play, behind Melrose-Mindoro (7-4), C-FC (10-2) and Blair-Taylor (10-1). Whitehall was scheduled to play at B-T on Monday of this week before taking on Mel-Min on Thursday in the final game of the regular season.

The Norse received the third seed in their Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Division Four bracket and will play at B-T again this coming Tuesday. The winner of that game will likely play at (1) C-FC next week Saturday.

The Norse broke the game wide open early as they took a 35-6 lead into halftime.

Whitehall slowed down late in the game and Gilmanton cut into the lead, but the outcome of the game was never in doubt in the second half.

Norah Youngbauer scored 13 to lead Whitehall while Nylah Lisowski added 10 and grabbed 13 rebounds. Sami Huff scored six, Olivia Youngbauer finished with five, Avery Sonsalla had three and both Abby Semb and Nicoya Yarrington scored two.

Lisowski led the team with 22 points while Semb added 19. Norah Youngbauer chipped in with nine while Janna Thoma scored three, Olivia Youngbauer added two and both McKenna Pientok and Avery Sonsalla finished with one.

Lisowski and Norah Youngbauer both also had seven rebounds.
