For all the brothers...this team wasn't too good. I copied this off the school website.

Northgate Pounds Carmel in Season Opener
Haley Dahlgard's steal from Carmel with a feed to Courtney Hamilton downcourt for a layup kicked off the Lady Broncos scoring for the 2006-2007 season, and set the tone for a 59 - 9 victory over the Carmel Padres.

The Broncos' uptempo offense lead to plenty of scoring opportunities despite a relatively low percentage shooting from the floor, 24-62 (39%). Northgate played tenacious defense, with the team's speed and pressure on the ball handler leading to numerous steals and forcing Padre turnovers. Carmel didn't score until 12 minutes into the game, and didn't score again until halfway through the third period.

The entire team saw significant minutes on the court, and Bronco scoring was well distributed. In fact, the Bronco bench scored 30 of the teams 59 points. Kaley Blodget led all Broncos with 12 points on 6 of 10 shooting. Courtney Hamilton, Valerie Middleton and Lisa Espinosa each scored 8 points. Jessica Trautner collected 8 rebounds while shutting down the main Carmel offensive threat. Kelly Peterson scored 7 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and recorded a team high 6 steals to round out the Bronco stat sheet.

The Broncos will face host Salinas Friday night in the Semi-Final game. Salinas defeated St. Francis 42-39.
