WESTFIELD – Westfield High School girls’ varsity basketball head coach Ralph Loos gets a bit defensive when you ask him about his team’s effort on the court.
That is because his team has clamped down on its opponent twice already this season.
Westfield held Amherst’s leading scorer, Jamie Staples, to just six points, and the Bombers rolled to a 53-35 victory at home Thursday night.
“We did a really nice job defensively on them,” Loos said about his team’s success in holding the Hurricanes to just 35 points.
Westfield (2-1) did more than enough, offensively, as well. Bombers’ Alicia Arnold scored a game-high 20 points, and sophomore Alexa Morin netted a double-double (13 points, 18 rebounds).
