Karsten Bresser ‘22 drives toward the basket hoping to make it past the opposing defense.
Zack Engels ‘22 pushes past his opponent driving towards the basket. During the fourth quarter Engels was hit in the head causing an injury, but after receiving medical assistance he was back on the court and played for the remainder of the game.
Moving down the court, Henry Chuo ‘23 looks for an opening to get to the net. “We were most focused on trying to stack as many stops as we could and creating something on offense so we could get ourselves back in the game,” Chuo said.
Westwood varsity boys basketball played against Cedar Ridge on Friday, Feb. 11, and lost 44-37.
“We could have played much better in the first half,” Henry Chuo ‘23 said. “We had a horrible first half. We scored 11 points so we dug ourselves a hole. We were able to come back in the second half, but couldn’t pull all the way through.”
The Warriors started off slow, only scoring seven points in the first quarter and four in the second quarter. Even with Cedar Ridge having a 12 point lead moving into the second half the Warriors were able to tie up in the fourth quarter 31-31. Unfortunately, Cedar Ridge came back and beat the Warriors 44-37.
The team will play McNeil at Westwood next Tuesday Feb. 15, and will be celebrating senior night for the varsity senior boys.

![Multiple Westwood Girls block a Vista Ridge player. Westwoods defense slacked off the entire game, but at certain points it improved. Im proud of us for playing hard and keep[ing] going even when times get rough, Caroline Doughtery 25 said.](https://westwoodhorizon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/24-1-30_girlsvarsitybasketball-ashforda-2-600x400.jpg)
