Stimson leads Cardinals in tourney-opening win

Kelsey Stimson scored a season-high 18 points on Wednesday as Bishop Diego’s girls basketball team opened the Bishop Diego/Laguna Blanca Tournament with 1 51-33 win over North County Christian.

“She’s really starting to develop into an all-around player,” said coach Jeff Burich.

Community West BankAllison Breuer scored 12 points with 10 rebounds while Janelle Kohler score dnine points with 16 rebounds in the post.

“We went up 13-2 after the first quarter and I think we kind of coasted the rest of the way. We let up a little bit. I think we need to take more advantage of shots around the basket,” said Burich.

Due to a scheduling conflict, it was the first ever game played in the school’s new practice gym.

The Cardinals (3-2) are back in the good ol’ Brickhouse tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. to take on Thacher.
