A Monticello Empire League-season-opening win wasn\u2019t terribly satisfying for Mark Wudel and the Will C. Wood High School boys basketball team.<\/p>\n
A rout in the second game of the MEL slate not only gave the Wildcats sole possession of the league lead, but it gave Wudel and company a much better feeling.<\/p>\n
Wood scored the first 11 points of the game and never looked back in a 64-45 blowout over Vintage at Frank Molina Gymnasium on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played much better than we did against Napa,\u201d Wudel said, referring to a 63-51 win over the Indians last Friday. \u201cEarly on, we got a lot of rebounds, and then had good outlet passes for easy shots. Even when they did get back on defense, we passed the ball well and never really let them get set up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got up, and then when they did make a run at us, we always held the upper hand. We played really good defense. I\u2019m really roud of our guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wildcats held at 18-11 lead after the first quarter, and extended the advantage to 32-21 by halftime.<\/p>\n
