Carlson moves into Girls Basketball District semifinals
Woodhaven handed Gibraltar Carlson’s girls basketball team it’s first Downriver League loss of the season just a few days ago.
The Marauders hated to have their perfect season ruined, but coach Kristin Fabrizio said at the time that it might be a blessing in disguise.
She knew what she was talking about.
Carlson came out on top 53-43 Monday in the rematch in the opening round of the Division 1 at Monroe.
“I am really excited for the girls,” Carlson coach Kristin Fabrizio said. “One of the big keys for us was shutting down their middle. We worked on that a lot. Their girls are a lot bigger than ours.”
Emma Shimizu (21), Elyse Miller (12) and Jalyn Bongiorno (11) all scored in double figures for Carlson (18-3).
Carlson will play Monroe at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The first game of a semifinal doubleheader that night will pit Bedford against Trenton at 5:30 p.m.
