One point either way makes all the difference

And just like that Weiser High School’s 2023-24 winter sports season opened last week with the Lady Wolverines basketball team taking one win and one loss on the road, both by a single point.

 In their season debut Tuesday, Nov. 14, the Wolverines earned a 54-53 overtime win against Nampa Christian.

 Weiser scored 17 of 63 shots from the field, including a pair of three-pointers by senior Kendall Rynearson (33) and junior Lucy Hickey (12). As a team, the scrappy Wolverines drew 30 fouls in the game, scoring 18 points from the free throw line.
