Lady Wolverines drop first game of the season 70-30 to Melba Mustangs

Weiser’s Andrea Bouvia dribbles the ball with Melba defenders closing in during the Lady Wolverines’ season opener on Saturday at the Mustangs’ gym. Teammates No. 35 Abbey Shirts, No. 24 Maddy Erickson and No. 25 Marissa Moyle are ready to assist Bouvia. One of the best teams around, the Mustangs beat the Lady Wolverines 70-31 in the nonconference game. The Weiser team was shorthanded and is learning a new system, coach Nick Reed said. The Weiser girls went to Caldwell to take on the Cougars on Tuesday night and will return for a non-conference game against New Plymouth on Thursday.
