They took care of business against a perennial basketball power in Kings Park on Monday. After beating Kings Park two years ago to win the Suffolk County championship, <a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2024\/02\/119214\/wildcats-fall-in-semifinals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last year<\/a> it was the Kingswomen who prevailed, knocking the Wildcats out of the semifinals. So even this early in the season, Monday\u2019s 44-33 victory over Kings Park at Shoreham-Wading River High School means that things are looking up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to have a test like this early in the season,\u201d Lievre said. \u201cI told the girls before the game that win or lose, this is the type of game to see where we are. We want to see the good and bad and the ugly \u2014 like many of our missed layups today \u2014 but overall this is what early season basketball is all about. The season\u2019s not over if you win, and the season isn\u2019t over when you lose. It was the first close game we played, so it was good to see how the girls responded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s team is led by senior guard Alyssa Bell, who emerged as a regular starter last season. Bell has always had tremendous potential and ability to score \u2014 and this season, she\u2019ll be a key source of the Wildcats success. She\u2019s already scored as many as 20 points in a game this season and put up 12 points on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s our primary ball handler, but also we need her to score,\u201d Lievre said. \u201cThrough the first couple games, she\u2019s done a great job at that. She\u2019s our only true basketball player out there. We want to let the athletes around her do their thing, using their length and their speed, and when we desperately need a score, she\u2019s going to have the ball in her hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several Division I college lacrosse recruits fill the lineup, which will give the Wildcats a competitive defensive edge against anyone they go against. Grayce Kitchen (Louisville), Haylie Abrams (Colorado), Morgan Lesiewicz (Lehigh) and Charlotte Erb (Coastal Carolina) all give the opponents fits as they try to navigate the ball up the court. Against Kings Park, the team came away with 21 steals and forced another 17 turnovers \u2014 gaudy numbers in just 32 minutes of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think with the athleticism we have on the team, we\u2019re going to be a tough matchup for anyone,\u201d Bell said. \u201cWe have the ability to always control the tempo, which is a major advantage for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defense is something that a Lievre team always pride themselves on. In the second quarter, which happened to be a major turning point in the game, SWR only allowed four points and stretched the lead to as much as 15 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we start to get in our groove, our defense turns into offense,\u201d said Kitchen, who scored nine points. \u201cWe all trust each other to be tough on defense and to make a play when we need it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anabel and Kady Keegan will be major parts of the team this year. Anabel sat out all of last season with an injury, so she\u2019s just getting back in the swing of things. Kady scored nine points and came up with four steals against Kings Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnabel hasn\u2019t played in a basketball game in around 20 months coming into this season,\u201d Lievre said. \u201cBy the middle of the season, she\u2019s going to be a major force, and I look forward to seeing her get comfortable back out there.\u201d With the intense schedule to open the season, Lievre hasn\u2019t really been able to have a lot of practices as a full team. The winter break is coming up and it\u2019ll grant them some time to work on what they\u2019ve seen in their play thus far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a whole week to reevaluate,\u201d Lievre said. \u201cSee what\u2019s been good and what\u2019s been not so good. We have a stretch of five games in 10 days so it will be good to take a step back. It\u2019s a long season and so far so good. We\u2019re going to be a work in progress but we\u2019ll take where we are right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, Shoreham-Wading River girls basketball coach Adam Lievre schedules opponents from more competitive leagues in the beginning of the season to gauge where they are as a team.
