Saint Francis Girls Basketball Team Goes ‘Boom Boom’ against Cedar Key

By Olivia Velardo and Camden Nolde

The Saint Francis Wolves defeated the visiting Cedar Key Sharks in a girls’ basketball game Tuesday, 64-43.

Dedication from the Wolves

Lexy Bhatia helped spark the Wolves (2-0) to a 26-13 lead in the first quarter.

As the second period began, Cedar Key coach Hannah Stone yelled at her players to “stay on her” as Lexy Bhatia sprinted down the court. 

Bhatia assisted her teammates’ scoring with precision passes. A pass from Bhatia to Allie Day resulted in the first points for the Wolves in the quarter.

Boom Boom

Each time Bhatia scored the public announcer declared “Boom Boom.” 

“I honestly have no clue as my coach just came up with it,” Bhatia said of the nickname. “I think it’s because I score a lot and it makes a boom sound when I shoot.” 

 

The Road Ahead for the Wolves

The Wolves have a lot to look forward to this season as they work together as a team to defeat host Countryside Christian starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Cedar Key (2-3) will host Chiefland at 6 p.m. Thursday.
