Varsity Girls Playoff vs. WoodCreek

Last night the ORHS Girls Varsity Basketball team took on Woodcreek at the Oak Ridge Gym. The crowd was much larger and noiser than the previous playoff game vs. Rocklin. Although their was much more intensity during this game, the final score of 59-30 would not indicate that. Once again the Lady Trojan defense was relentless, allowing only 2 point in the first quarter, and 11 in the first half.

During the second half, Woodcreek did score more, and play more agressively, however they faced too large of a deficit to make this game intersting. Although watching Coach White on the sidelines might have given a different impression.

Next up for the Lady Trojans is Grant in the semifinal game Wednesday at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

Good Luck Lady Trojans.

OHRS Playofff Game vs. Rocklin

Last night (02/23/09), the Oak Ridge Varsity girls basketball team began their playoff run at ORHS against Rocklin. The Lady Trojans started out quick by taking a 23-2 lead after the first quarter, finally finishing the game at 74-21. Although Rocklin added more points to their total, the outcome of the game had pretty much been determined by the first quarter.

Earlier in the week, Steve White was quoted in the El Dorado Hills Telegraph as saying "Even though we’re the number-one seed playing 16, the first round against Rocklin isn’t going to be a cakewalk by any means." The game play obviously did not meet his expectations, or he was being "politically correct"!

In the 3rd and 4th quarters, the second unit played much of the time. Natalie Stone, scored 11 points, while the points leader was none other than Sara James with 26.

Next up for the Lady Trojans is another home playoff game Thursday, 2/26 at 7:00 PM against Wood/Woodcreek.

All the water polo teams played today against the Roseveille Tigers and a couple of the teams put on quite a scoring display.



The Varsity Boys lost 9-7 after having led most of the game. They seemed to just lose a little of the momentum in the final quarter.



The Varisty Girls had a little trouble with the Tigers and ended up losing 7-2, although the game seemed much closer than the score indicated.

Much of the girls' scoring was accomplished individually, without having the need of assists. This was a result of the Tigers just being outmatched.
