Wong's Successful Senior Year

Wanapaleia Wong

For the St. Patrick-St. Vincent's (Vallejo, CA) Girls basketball team, this season has been a success due to the most part of their preseason record. The Bruins went 14-2 in preseason entering league play, with 13 of their wins defeating their opponents by 14 or more points. Despite the preseason success, the Bruins have gotten off to a slow 1-2 start in league, but that hasn't stopped senior guard Wanapaleia Wong from having a great senior season.

Wong who has been on varsity since her freshman year, has averaged over 15 points a game, over 5 rebounds, and almost 4 steals a game through the first 19 games of the season. Her biggest game came against American Canyon high school, where she scored 22 points and brought down 11 rebounds to carry her team to a victory. Although she has been able to put up great numbers for the Bruins, Wong still wants to maintain her play, and help her school earn more league victories as they prepare for the playoffs.

Wong has hopes of playing college basketball as she has taken visits to Division 2 level schools outside of California, but has not committed to any school yet. For Wong and her family, they are looking to find the right program for her to commit to in the future, while she finishes off her senior year and continues to train with Team Rampage Varsity Head Coach Brandon Bracy. St. Pats will play at Pinole Valley High School tonight at 7pm.
