Kaytlenn Whelden fires a bounce pass in her season debut.

ILWACO — Erika Glenn scored 21 of her 29 points in the first 10:08 in Ilwaco’s 65-25 victory over Northwest Christian Friday, Dec. 13. Kaytlenn Whelden returned from injury to score eight off the bench in her season debut.

Glenn came out aggressive early, hitting a three-pointer off the opening tip, followed right away with a steal, then reached over a passer’s head like a blindsiding defensive end to force a high pass out of bounds. She hit three three-pointers during a 13-point first quarter. Estella Sheldon found Glenn with a lob to start the second quarter, and Glenn buried two more threes in the next two minutes to make it 28-8 with 5:52 until halftime.

Whelden hit a three-pointer on a cross-court pass from Glenn, her first basket of the year, to make it 33-8.

Freshman Olivia McKinstry came off the bench and contributed ten points and five steals. She got started by putting back a missed Ilwaco free throw late in the second quarter. She demonstrated her post moves, scoring on an up-and-under move and another on a quick spin near the basket.

Kylie Gray added 10 points of her own. Whelden finished with eight points, including a pair of threes.

Ilwaco improved to 5-0, and is tied with Raymond for first at 4-0 in league play.
