Warriors wallop Fairbanks foes

The Wasilla girls scored a pair of nonconference victories during a trip to Fairbanks last week. The Warriors pounded West Valley 89-36 and defeated Lathrop handily 70-57.

Senior guard Kelly Tompkins was on fire during the weekend, nailing four shots from behind the arc in each of the games. Tompkins scored 16 against the Wolfpack and 17 against the Malemutes.

Senior post Marcia Schirack hit 14 shots from the field and scored a season-high 28 points against Lathrop. The big performance in Fairbanks could be promising for University of Alaska Fairbanks fans. Schirack will don a UAF Nanook uniform next season.

Trista White celebrated a homecoming with 19 points against West Valley and nine points against her former squad, the Malemutes. White transferred to Wasilla from Lathrop before this season.

Wasilla got out to a giant lead against the Wolfpack, outscoring West Valley 50-14 in the first half.

Wasilla improved to 7-2 overall with the wins.
