Billies deliver first district victory against Canyon Lake

The Fredericksburg High School varsity girls’ basketball team picked up two wins in the past 10 days, including a 90-21 victory over Canyon Lake to open up district play last Friday at the FHS Performance Gym.

Prior to last Friday’s win, the Billies trounced the Devine Arabians, 62-41, last Tuesday in their final non-district contest of the regular season.

FHS 90, Canyon Lake 21

Kirsten Hartmann scored 32 points and Rilyn Grona added 30 points to lead the Billies to a 90-21 victory over Canyon Lake last Friday at the FHS Performance Gym.

“We just really wanted to come out and prove what we have in our district opener,” Rilyn Grona said. “

The Billies jumped out to a 34-4 lead after one quarter and never looked back.

This was the first district contest of the season for the Billies.

Grona had a triple-double after scoring 30 points and finishing the game with 11 pass deflections and 10 rebounds, not to mention her seven steals and nine assists.

“I wasn’t even thinking when I was shooting threes,” Grona said. “I was just shooting, and they went in.”

Hartmann knocked down six 3-pointers and Grona added five 3-pointers for the Billies.

FHS shot 50 percent from the field and knocked down 14 3-pointers as a team.

“As a whole team, we were just hitting (our shots) and we were just feeding off of our own energy,” Kirsten Hartmann said. “Our defense really ran our offense. Our defense was just so high-pressured and I think that is what really got us hyped.”

The Billies produced 35 turnovers that led to 49 points on the scoreboard.

Every player on the Billies roster received playing time and picked up stats during this opening district game at home.

Grona and Hartmann led the charge in the first half with Grona hitting two free throws and a 3-pointer to open the game in the first period.

Paige Kuhlmann scored a bucket and was fouled in the process to give the Billies a quick 7-0 lead.

Addison Schoessow picked up seven rebounds, four steals and five assists and finished with six points.

Nora Schoessow scored three points after she knocked down a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter.

Micaella Petty and Izzy Reeh also knocked down one 3-pointer apiece.

Ally Page-Tamez crashed the boards with five offensive rebounds.

Ryan Griffin, Danika Ochoa, Brylee Frantzen, Sarahi Lozano and Reyli Sanchez all contributed to the team victory.

FHS 62, Devine 41

The Fredericksburg High School varsity girls’ basketball team jumped out to a 21-point lead in the first quarter, helping the No. 8 Billies blast past the Devine Arabians, 62-41, last Tuesday at the FHS Performance Gym.

Kirsten Hartmann scored 26 points, including two 3-pointers, to lead the Billies in scoring.

Rilyn Grona added 16 points and Addison Schoessow scored 12 points for the Billies.

Addison Schoessow dominated the boards with nine rebounds and collected five assists.

Kuhlmann finished with six rebounds, six points and two pass deflections.
