With a downpour raging outside, the Roosevelt girls basketball team generated a torrent of three-pointers Wednesday night to upend eighth-ranked Issaquah 55-45.
The unranked Roughriders (6-2 overall, 4-0 KingCo 4A) sank six three-pointers, three by freshman guard Katherine Woodworth, and senior Frannie Hemmelgarn was a nonstop force with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
"I've only coached here for a year and a month, but I just told her in front of the team that that was the best game she ever played for us," second-year coach Gregg Kalina said of Hemmelgarn. "She was all over the place. I don't think any coach in the league wouldn't want her on their team."
Hemmelgarn, who suffered a torn ACL in her left knee in the final regular-season game last season, says she is just starting to feel comfortable again on the court.
"I couldn't go all out and I just wasn't connecting [early in the season]," said the 5-foot-11 guard, who also recorded four steals and five assists against Issaquah (4-2, 2-1).
"I got to play the last few games in [fall] soccer, but I was still limping a little bit. Then when I started the first couple of basketball games I was nervous about it. With a hurt knee you don't want to go all out because you worry about stepping the wrong way.
"After the first couple of games it would be swollen afterwards," she said. "Now it barely bothers me. The only way I can tell I injured my leg is I play with a brace on."
"We all came to play," Hemmelgarn said. "We're a deep team, and all of us can step up at different times, so we don't have to count on one person. That's really nice."
Alexa Smith led Issaquah with 16 points. Maddey Pflaumer added nine and Erin Nicol finished with eight.
Eagles coach Kathy Gibson conceded Roosevelt simply outplayed her team.
"Their perimeter shooting was outstanding and they killed us on the boards," she said.
