The victory avenged a 59-34 loss in the final of the Nike Tournament of Champions on Dec. 21. But the game Saturday was largely overshadowed by the non-contact injury to Mitty junior forward
McKenna Woliczko.
Without Woliczko, Mitty rallied to tie the game at 40 late in the third quarter but Ontario Christian led by sensational point guard
Kaleena Smith finished the game on a 21-4 run.
Mitty meanwhile will be without Woliczko for the rest of the season as she announced via social media Tuesday that it was an ACL injury requiring surgery. The Monarchs start league play before a pair of games Jan. 17 and 18 against No. 10
Sidwell Friends (Washington, D.C.) and No. 3
Morris Catholic (Denville, N.J.), respectively, at Hoophall.
Providence Academy is the top team in Minnesota and led by junior
Maddyn Greenway, who is averaging 29.9 points per game and closing in on 3.500 career points. Based on her freshman and sophomore numbers, she should hit 4,000 by the end of the season and chase 5,000 before her prep career is over.
The daughter of former NFL player Chad Greenway also has a sister on the team,
Beckett Greenway, who has shown a propensity to score like her older sister. Beckett is averaging 12.0 points per game as an eighth grader and dropped 22 points in each of the Lions' last two games.
