Jensen scored 13 points – tying her for game-high honors with teammate Madison Blair – and also had six rebounds in the contest.
Ali Wiemer, Catholic Central High School girls basketball: Wiemer helped the Lady ’Toppers pick up their second win of the season – and second in a week – as CCHS downed St. Thomas More 59-49 Jan. 10.

Team of the Week
Waterford Union High School girls basketball: While scoring has been difficult as of late for the Wolverines, the squad got just enough points for a 40-36 win over Elkhorn Jan. 11.
The Wolverines did that with three starters in foul trouble in the contest, and got contributions from the entire bench as a result. Megan Jensen and Madison Blair led the team with 13 points each, but Kaylee Fry came off the bench and filled in well at forward, while Shannon Malchine was solid in the guard spot.
In addition, Jensen had six rebounds and Blair had four assists and six rebounds. Jenna Bouffiou, Shannon Malchine, Shauna Malchine, Alyssa Helwig, Tiffany Stiewe, Fry and Kelly Strasser all scored two points each.
Quote of the Week
Give credit, but…
“Give a lot of credit to Racine Lutheran for their intense defense and creating most of those first half turnovers, but we did a terrible job handling the ball.”
