Balanced offense, defense fuel XCP hoops

Xavier Prep basketball coach Jennifer Gillom has been looking for more balance on both sides of the ball for her team and on Tuesday night (Jan. 23), she got with an 82-30 road victory over Chandler Basha.

Xavier raised its overall record to 19-4 and goes for victory No. 20 on Friday night (Jan. 26) when it plays host to Chandler High at the Activity Center. Tipoff is 7 p.m.

With senior forward Montana Oltrogge still out with leg soreness, sophomore Elysia Fleetwood stepped up her game with 19 points and 7 rebounds. Junior point guard Leilani McIntosh scored 14 (including two 3-pointers) and had 7 steals. And senior inside player Katie Hassett had 10 points and was a factor on defense with 4 blocked shots.
