The Wadena-Deer Creek girls’ basketball team featured a balanced offensive attack and a stingy defense on Friday night as they won in Pillager, 43-42.

Maddie Packer led the Wolverines with 9 points.  Addy Gravelle and Montana Carsten finished with 8 points each.

“Back and forth battle in Pillager tonight,” reported WDC Head Coach Jordan Cresap. “I thought we competed tough defensively and on the boards. It’s always a challenge closing out close, intense games and we made enough plays down the stretch to come out on top. I like how we remained steady through the ups and the downs of the game.”

Olivia Peterson led Pillager with 17 points and Juliana Ewald added a dozen.

Wadena-Deer Creek (12-9) will host Menahga on Tuesday.

Pillager (13-8) has a home game against Sebeka on Tuesday night.
