She had to carry the pass out in the open as she walked to the STS bathrooms. “I really haven't had enough experience with it,” Riveland said. “As of right now I just think it’s a lot of unneeded passes and that this process could be a lot more simple.”

Guard Norah Gessert going for the steal against the Bellevue West Thunderbirds. Gessert intercepted the pass from number eight. Millard West was up 38-23. She would then go for a fastbreak ending in a layup to put the Wildcats up 40-23. “They contribute in a lot of ways,” Kruger said. “One way they contribute is the obvious on the court production that you see, in points, rebounds, block shots and steals. They have had a big step up from last year.”
