GLENVILLE – A few weeks ago, a conference championship seemed out of the question for the Glenville-Emmons girls’ basketball team.

Now, the Wolverines only need watch and wait. They’ve done everything within their power.

The Wolverines completed Southeast Conference play with their fifth consecutive victory Tuesday, topping Grand Meadow 65-31 at Glenville. It left the Wolverines 8-2 in conference play and with hopes of at least sharing the league title. Southland was 7-1 before Tuesday with games remaining against LeRoy-Ostrander and Lyle-Austin Pacelli, both formidable teams.

It was also the third game in four days for the Wolverines, who improved their overall record to 13-7.

According to first-year head coach Lane Pearson, Tuesday went pretty much as scripted.

&uot;We came into the game with a lot of confidence, knowing we should win it,&uot; said Pearson. &uot;Right from the start, we played as many girls as we could. All 12 saw considerable playing time and scored. Those nights are fun for everyone.&uot;

And it was a nice chance.

&uot;We haven’t been able to play everyone the last couple games,&uot; said Pearson. &uot;They’ve been tough games. Tonight, it was just kind of an enjoyable blessing, I guess, to be able to do that.&uot;

The Wolverines led 16-3, 34-20 and 56-25 at the quarter breaks.

Senior guard Holly Herr led the Wolverines with 12 points, all on three-pointers, running her career school-record for threes to 33.

Also scoring were Katie Erickson, 10 points; Aly Rayman, seven; Taryn Kaasa, six; Sheri Lair, five; Jill Delger, five; Alisa Rayman, five; Megan Avery, four; Kelly Yost, four; Lauren Bremer, three; Sarah Greibrok, two; Leslie Harlan, two.

The Wolverines made seven three-pointers. They were 8-for-16 at the free-throw line.

The Wolverines finish the regular season Friday with a nonconference home game against Spring Grove.
