PLAINVIEW — A quick start by the Wolfpack girls proved too much for Plainview to overcome Friday night.
Behind 12 points from sophomore Mady Kurpgeweit, the Wolfpack girls defeated the Pirates 41 to 30.
EPPJ jumped out to a 20 to 11 lead after one quarter, then saw it grow to 31 to 17 by halftime as Coach Randy Eisenhauer’s team remained undefeated in December. The Pirates had no answer for Kurpgeweit early on as she had nine of the team’s 20 points in the first quarter. Nor could they slow down Braelyn Martinsen and Callie Heithoff who each had six points in the first half.
