PREP BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Westwood girls score big win over Westfield

But Friday night was about as close as she came to getting excited when her Lady Wildcats topped Westfield 52-43 in a nonregion game.

“My kids played real hard and we made some mistakes,” Smith said. “They’re still learning, but because they played so hard, they were able to overcome some of their mistakes. We know what we have to work on. But I thought it was a big win for us.”
