On January 29, 2025, Shasta emerged victorious in a closely contested matchup against Redwoods, securing a 64-59 win on the road. This intense game, played at Redwoods, saw Shasta clinch the victory despite a determined fourth-quarter push by the home team.
The game was a tale of two halves, with Shasta and Redwoods tied at 14-14 at the end of the first quarter. Shasta slowly built a lead through consistent scoring in the subsequent quarters. The third quarter proved crucial for Shasta, as they outscored Redwoods 21-16, widening the gap significantly.
Graceyn Harlan, one of Shasta's standout players, led the charge with 21 points, showcasing her scoring prowess with an impressive 9 of 15 shooting performance. Complementing Harlan's efforts, Diana Lomeli-Gomez came off the bench to add 11 points, demonstrating efficiency by hitting all her field goal attempts.
Despite Shasta's commanding presence on the boards, with a total of 47 rebounds compared to Redwoods' 0—a stat likely reflecting an incomplete data set—ball control was a challenge. Shasta committed 20 turnovers, an area needing improvement as they progress into the season. Nonetheless, their shooting accuracy, highlighted by a 42.4% field goal percentage, helped them maintain their advantage.
Redwoods fought hard till the end, scoring 17 points in the final quarter, but it wasn't enough to overcome Shasta's lead. The home team's efforts were noteworthy, yet they fell short against a well-rounded Shasta squad.
The Lady Knights will host Lassen on Wednesday February 12th with a 7:00 tip-time.
