Westbury Christian shrugs off losses, shoot for fifth
straight TAPPS girls hoops crown. (Article written by: Jeff Jenkins/Houston Chronicle)
Out of character: The Westbury Christian girls basketball team recently
ended a seven-game skid with a 65-15 rout against Emery/Weiner in the TAPPS
District 4-4A opener. Although many of the losses were to Class 5A public
schools, it was still a brutal stretch for the four-time reigning TAPPS Class
4A state champions.
Making a point: Senior Carly Truesdale, a transfer from Clements, is the
latest in a long line of quality point guards from Westbury Christian.
Truesdale, who is averaging 16 points and eight assists, is following in the
footsteps of former Wildcats standouts such as Amber Orrange (Stanford),
Tiffany Davis (South Carolina) and Sylvana Okde (Louisiana-Lafayette).
Coming up: Westbury Christian will host Lutheran South at 6 p.m. Thursday,
Jan. 17, before traveling to St. Louis, Mo., for two games in the MLK Girls
Basketball Showcase.
Truesdale gets strong support from 5-5 junior Hannah Cambel at shooting guard. Cambel is a 3-point specialist, who hit seven threes against Brenham in the Aldine ISD Tournament semifinals. She is averaging 12 points. MORE ON HERE
