Basketball Coach Eileen Williams Celebrates 200th Victory!

Today’s 64-31 victory over visiting Gann Academy marks the 200th victory for Coach Eileen Williams. Williams, now in her 12th year of coaching basketball at Kimball Union Academy, is 200-80 during her tenure.

The Wildcats played with a high level of intensity for the entire 32 minutes with all players on the roster seeing significant minutes. Emily Kelly, a soccer goalie for the Cayman Island National Team, scored her first two buckets of the season while ripping down 5 rebounds. Four players scored in double figures for KUA with Gabby and Greydy Diaz leading the way each with 13 points. A local trio of seniors played particularly well in today’s contest. Shelby Pillsbury (Claremont, NH) netted a season-high 11 points while Tori Agel (Meriden, NH) chipped in with 10 points. Ainsley MacDonald (Plainfield, NH) played a strong all-around game grabbing several rebounds, scoring 9 points and playing tenacious defense.

KUA pulled down a season-high 41 rebounds, 21 of them off the offensive glass. The Cats took good care of the ball once again by committing just 11 turnovers as compared to 25 for Gann.

Kimball Union improves to 6-1 on the season and will play host to Proctor Academy on Wednesday at 2p.m.
