EIGHT THINGS
1. Wood (3-2 overall, 3-1 Philadelphia Catholic League) dominated the first half. The Vikings led 11-0 after the first quarter and 23-5 at halftime. Wood held Lansdale Catholic (2-4, 0-3) scoreless for 12 1/2 minutes to start the game.
2. Wood's three Catholic League wins have been by 28 points, 36 points and 52 points. Its losses were to Archbishop Carroll by 14 and Notre Dame Academy by three points in overtime.
3. Vikings senior center Ashley Robinson had 13 points, four rebounds, three blocks, three steals and three assists. Junior guard Sam Greenfield had six points and five assists.
4. Wood senior Ashley B'Oris played much of the fourth quarter on an injured knee and played well. B'Oris suffered the injury in an October fall league game. She is trying to put off the surgery so that she can play this season. B'Oris hit one of two free throws in the last two minutes for her only point.
5. Wood's eight sophomores combined for 32 points. Center Tori Arnao had seven points and five rebounds in her second varsity start. Guard Christine Verrelle had six points and four steals, while guard Steph Keyes scored nine points and hit two 3-pointers. The Vikings 10th graders have size and athleticism and are quickly gaining experience. The other sophomores are guard Caitlin McCartney, forward Aubrey Howland, guard Rachel Friend, guard Grace Mirack and forward Jenna Swope.
6. The Vikings don't play locally again until Jan. 6 against Kennedy-Kenrick. They are traveling to the Kroger Holiday Classic in Pickerington, Ohio, for the second straight year. Wood visits Cardinal O'Hara on Jan. 9.
7. Christine Verrelle on becoming a varsity regular as a sophomore: "I was a little nervous at first, but I have confidence."
8. Verrelle on last week's 55-41 loss to Archbishop Carroll: "I'm glad we played Carroll early. Now we know that we can stay with them."
