Worthington
Christian junior guard/forward, Bridgette Rettstatt, surpassed the 1,000 point
milestone in a 15 point win over Grandview Heights on January 15th.
She
has logged 1,208 career points, averaging 21.6 points per game for the
Lady Warriors, who were 15-7 overall but came up short in their first tournament game vs. Amanda
Clearcreek last Wednesday, February 17.
During the
girls senior night game February 8, Rettstatt logged 33 points in a
51-35 win over Johnstown.
When asked about her 1,000 point goal, Rettstatt responded, "It has always been a goal, but I didn't know it would happen so soon. I didn't even know that I was close, actually. So when they held up the signs, I was like, What?! It was a big surprise."
Rettstatt's new goal is to reach first-team all-state, which, I am hoping for this year, but if not, I've always got senior year."
The team's chemistry on and off the court counts as a large part of their success this season. Sophomore guard, Emily Hall, explained that the team's comradery comes from the small size of the team. "There are only 13 girls and so we have all gotten to know each other and encourage each other in the locker room before a game. When one of us is on the court, we know that our friends have our back so we don't feel pressure from our own team to be perfect."
According to the article in This Week News, Rettstatt attributed her success in part to her teammates. "Without my teammates I would be able to get the ball and shoot...all my points are basically off of assists," explained Rettstatt.
Heading in to the tournament game against Amanda Clearcreek, both Hall and Rettstatt felt that it would be a close game. Worthington Christian was seated 8 and the opposing team was seated 9 but unfortunately, Amanda Clearcreek moved on in the tourney with a 50-44 win over the Lady Warriors. Rettstatt scored 16 points, Alex Evans, 12, Emma Linehan, 8, Elizabeth Lake, 6, and Caroline Cole, 2 points. Congratulations on a great season! Go Warriors!
