WILTON — The Wilton Beavers picked up a 12-point win in their season opener last Tuesday. There, Wilton beat West Liberty 55 to 43. The Beavers play twice on the road this week at Camanche Tuesday and at Class 2A No. 13 Iowa City Regina Friday.
Wilton raced out to a 9-point, 21-12 lead after the first quarter. Wilton followed that opening quarter point total, by outscoring the Comets 14 to 12 in the second quarter to take a 35-24 halftime lead.
Both teams stepped up the defense to start the second half as both teams only scored single-digit point totals. Wilton did outscore the Comets 7-6 to extend their lead to 12 points, 42-30 going to the final quarter.
Both teams scored 13 points in the fourth quarter.
Seniors Emily Lange and Kortney Drake combined to score 46 of the Beavers 55 points. Lange scored a career-high 28 points and Drake added 18. Lange had 8 rebounds and made two three-pointers while Drake led in steals with 4 and assists with 6. She also had 3 rebounds.
Wilton held a 45 to 40 rebound advantage in the game. Aubrey Putman had a team-high 11 rebounds for the Beavers. Seven different Beavers scored in the basketball game.
West Liberty was led by two players in double figures. Janey Gingerich led with 12 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. Sailor Hall chipped in 10 points while Austyn Crees scored 8 and Macy Daufeldt scored 7.
Wilton will look to get a boost early this season with momentum coming off of a fall volleyball team that qualified for the 2018 state tournament. The Beavers return four starters from last year’s team that went 13-9.
