A cool 1,000 and counting: Ozaukee’s Schauer, Port Washington’s Baierl each reach scoring milestones

Ozaukee High School junior Becca Schauer joined the 1000-point club last Thursday in a 55-51 victory over visiting Lake Country Lutheran.

Going into the game, Schauer, who wears No. 11, needed 11 points to hit the career milestone.

She struggled to score in the first half, but continued her unselfish play, dishing the ball to teammates with precision and efficiency.

She ended the game with 18 points, eight assists and six rebounds.

Her 1,000th point came at the 12:30 mark in the second half to give her team a six-point advantage at 38-32.

At the next stoppage of play, Schauer was awarded a game ball.

“It was a great night for Becca Schauer to get her 1,000th point. She did it hitting a three to give us a little breathing space and she had a great moment,” Ozaukee coach Tim Wolff said.

“What makes it even more impressive is that she leads the conference in assists the last two years and leads our team every year she’s been on varsity. As unselfish as she is, for her to get 1,000 points is pretty incredible.”

Schauer scored 262 points as a freshman and 341 as a sophomore.

Thursday was also Senior Night for the Warriors.

“I can’t say enough about how the seniors have improved throughout the years. Abby (Miller), Briana (Szczerbinski) and Carla (Wolff), have set an example of what it means to stick with a program. Even though their team wasn’t that great when they were younger, they kept working at it and had a pretty good senior season, going 15-7.”

Lake Country Lutheran, a Division 3 team, was 16-5  coming into Thursday.

The game was tied twice late. Locked at 49-49 with 2 minutes, 12 seconds to play, Miller rebounded on a missed shot by the Lightning and Ozaukee iced the game with six straight free throws. Carla Wolff sank two and Schauer went 4-for-4 in the last 24.4 seconds.

The Lighting scored a last second basket to trim the deficit to four.

Wolff scored 13 points and had six rebounds and six assists. Greta Klas had 11 points.

Julia Hirt scored 17 for the Lightning.

On Feb. 11, the Warriors beat Sheboygan Christian, 66-31, at home.

“It was nice once the girls got going. They played pretty well and it was nice not to have such a tight game at the end. Everybody got to play a lot, which was also nice,” Wolff said.

Schauer scored 19 points, had eight assists and five steals. Cami Miller and Carla Wolff each scored nine and Greta Klas had eight.

Olivia Heinen scored 16 for the Eagles.

The Warriors earned a 3 seed in the Division 4 playoffs and host the winner of Tuesday’s game between No. 11-seeded Kenosha Christian Life and No. 6 Dodgeland at 7 p.m. Friday.

The regional final will be held on Saturday, hosted by the top-seeded team that remains.

Felsinger, TehHaken take over

In what became a two-on-two basketball game, Cedar Grove-Belgium’s Ellie Felsinger and Amy TenHaken topped Hilbert’s Makaylee Kuhn and Laney Halbach last Thursday in the Rockets’ regular season finale.

Inside player Felsinger scored 22 points on 9-for-14 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds, and outside specialist TenHaken scored 19, including going 4-for-6 on three-pointers to lead the Rockets to a 50-40 victory in game postponed from Jan. 29.

Coach Jason Jones wanted to get the inside-outside game going and doesn’t care which Rockets step up to the plate.

“We don’t specify exactly who. If you can hit from the outside and get somebody going on the inside, it becomes a lot tougher to guard people.”

Felsinger and TenHaken combined to score 25 of the team’s 27 second-half points to pull away from the Huskies.

TenHaken drained four three-pointers in a three-and-a-half-minute stretch that helped put the Rockets up, 41-37, and ignite a lively crowd on senior night with barely seven minutes left to play.

“I was just hot. Everybody was just feeding me. That was nuts,” TenHaken said.

Felsinger followed with seven points, including hoop and harm, in a 93-secondstretch that pushed the lead to 48-37 with 4:53 left.

“That was an exciting finish. Senior night brought up the energy,” Felsinger said.

The Rockets used a 9-0 run in the final five minutes of the first half to take a 23-18 lead into the break.

The Wolves, behind 19 points from Kuhn and 12 from Halbach, battled back to take a 32-28 lead with 11:37 to play, prompting coach Jason Jones to call a timeout. The Rockets took over from there.

“Coming into game knew we could win but knew we had to work for it. Everybody just came together to get it done,” TenHaken said.

The Rockets’ defensive game plan was to shut down Kuhn by face guarding her. She reached her season average along with 12 rebounds but it wasn’t enough.

The Rockets switched from a man-to-man defense in the first half to a 2-3 zone in the second. They held the Wolves to 22 points in the final 23 minutes.

“Just a good team win. Everybody was involved with it. Everybody was hustling on D,” Jones said.
