Lady Braves Win Tulpehocken Holiday Tournament
December 29, 2011 —
The PV girls basketball team continued their early season success on the road
with two more wins in Berks County at the Tulpehocken Holiday Tournament. The
Braves are now 6-2 on the road and 6-3 overall on the season as they prepare to
enter section play in the new year.
The Braves brought home the trophy with a 53-39 victory in a rematch against the
Antietam Lady Mounts. The girls jumped out to an early 22-9 lead on the Mounts,
but were unable to finish the game off early as Antietam clawed back into it
with a barrage of three-pointers (they hit 9 in the game). Despite being up by
as many as 16 in the first half, the Braves found themselves clinging to a two
point lead in the third quarter. It was then that the clutch shooting of Heather
Lockard and the relentless attacking of the hoop by Kayla Wallace took over to
weather the storm and pull away for the championship trophy. Lockard finished
with 13 points, and Wallace had 18. Kasey Williams continued to stuff the stat
sheet by scoring 7 points, grabbing 7 boards, dishing out 5 assists, and coming
up with 4 steals. Sarah Hovis led the team in rebounding with 10, and Alexis
Angelucci continued her stellar low post play with 7 points and 7 rebounds.
In the opening round, the Braves used an extremely balanced inside/outside
attack to hold off the pesky squad from Schuykill Haven by a score of 46-36.
Despite a slow start, the Braves were able to finish when it mattered. Every
time that Haven cut the lead to within striking distance, someone for the Braves
would step up and hit a shot to regain momentum. Leading the team in scoring
were Lockard and Hovis with 9 a piece, and Wallace and Angelucci added 8 each.
Williams and Alyssa Maxwell also added 5 points each. Angelucci led the team in
rebounding with 12, Hovis had 10, and Williams added 8. Williams also dished out
5 assists, while Wallace handed out 3. Maxwell led the team in steals with four.
Kayla Wallace was named the Tournament Most Valuable Player, and Kasey Williams
was named to the All-Tournament Team. The Braves reenter the action in 2012 by
returning home for a game against section rival Annville Cleona on Tuesday,
January 3rd. Please come out and fill the Red Zone in support of the Lady
Braves!

Lady Braves Suffer Two Close Losses to Section 3 Standouts
As the holiday season nears each year, the L-L begins the first half of
"crossover" play – when the sections face off against each other. The Braves
season schedule dictated that their first two games would be against two of the
contenders for the section three title – Nothern Lebanon and Manheim Central.
Both squads made runs at the section 3 title last year, and both squads returned
all 5 of their starters.
At Northern Lebanon, the Braves pushed the Vikings down to the wire, leading in
the fourth early and having opportunities to tie the game late. In the end,
clutch free throw shooting by NL (6-6 in the final 90 seconds) and late misses
by the Braves proved to be the final difference. Kayla Wallace had 14 points and
8 rebounds before fouling out in the fourth, and Alexis Angelucci had 5 points
and 10 rebounds. PV held a 42-27 rebound edge on the night, as they continue to
battle teams on the boards. Sarah Hovis had another double-digit rebounding
performance with 10, and Kasey Williams added 7 from the point guard position.
The final score was NL 37, PV 27.
The girls returned home on Tuesday night after playing their first five contests
on the road. They faced an impressive Manheim Central squad, which relied on
stellar outside shooting to consistently thwart PV rallies in the second half.
Again the Braves led late, and again their opponents answered with clutch shots.
Despite big threes hit by Kasey Williams and Heather Lockard, MC used treys by
their point guard (who had 6 threes in the game) to pull ahead. Kayla Wallace
continued to demonstrate that she can be offensive force to be reckoned with by
pumping in a career-high 21 points. Alexis Angelucci had a monster game in the
post, despite being faced with early foul trouble. She hit numerous big baskets
in the fourth, and ended the contest with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Williams
scored 12 points and added 4 assists. Sarah Hovis added 9 rebounds and played a
big role in holding the Barons' top scorer in check for the game. The final
score was MC 57, PV 53.
The Pequea Valley Lady Braves return to action at Donegal in their final leg of
the early-season crossover schedule on Thursday and will look to put a stop
their two-game skid.
Early Season Summary:
* 3 wins, 3 losses
* Leading Scorer – Kayla Wallace, 12.7 points per game
* Leading Rebounders – Sarah Hovis, 9 rebounds per game and Alexis Angelucci,
7.8 rebounds per game

Pequea Valley 54, Lancaster Country Day 14
The Lady Braves continued their season-opening road trip by traveling to Lancaster Country Day on Thursday afternoon. Using defensive pressure and stellar shooting from the outside, the girls were able to jump out to an early lead and cruise to their third victory on this young season. Kayla Wallace scored 14 points by hitting array of jumpers and shots off of dribble penetration. She hit six of her seven shots from field. Sophomore Mady Reeser continued to be a spark off the bench, as she went a perfect 3-3 from downtown on her way to 11 points. Positives were everywhere to be found for the Braves – Heather Lockard had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Kasey Williams had 6 points and 4 assists while continuing to provide intense defensive pressure.

The Braves continue the journey tonight at Northern Lebanon in the opening contest of section crossover play.
Pequea Valley 29, Oxford 22
The Lady Braves traveled to Chester County to face off against AAA Oxford on Tuesday night in a contest that turned out to be a defensive struggle. Using a collapsing defense to attempt the neutralize Oxford's 6'0" center, PV was able to shut down their offensive attack. The Braves had 35 rebounds on the night, being led by Sarah Hovis with 11 and Alyssa Maxwell with 7. Offensively, PV was paced by the early strong play of senior point guard Kasey Williams and her relentless attacking of the hoop. She led all scorers in the contest with 12 points and she added 5 assists. Holding only a 2-point lead entering halftime, the Braves used 5 big points in the third quarter from sophomore guard Heather Lockard to begin to pull away. This helped to provide a 7-point edge entering the fourth quarter and gave the appearance that PV was pulling away. However, late turnovers allowed Oxford to cut the lead to 4 with 2 minutes remaining. PV's defense managed to hold, and Williams knocked down 3 late free throws to ice the victory.
The Pequea Valley Lady Braves record now stands at 2-1, and they reenter the action tomorrow afternoon at Lancaster Country Day. Please come out and support your Lady Braves!
