The Sierra Timberwolves had a golden opportunity to open the Cosumnes Oaks Tournament with a win, but a late run from Folsom High would cost Sierra in its 49-46 first round loss Thursday in Elk Grove.

Kayla Wilson continued her strong opening to the season, finishing in double-figures and leading Sierra with 15 points. Teammates Celine Barber and Katelyn Teixeira both finished in double-digits as well, with 13 and 10, respectively.

“Folsom never had a lead of more than two points,” Sierra head coach Steve Unterholzner said. “It was back and forth all game.”

The Timberwolves (3-6) will try and get back in the win column when they meet up with the loser of the Cosumnes Oaks-Hiram Johnson loser today at 3:30 p.m.

Burbank 46, Lathrop 45

A dismal opening quarter doomed the Spartans, as they dropped their Cosumnes Oaks Tournament opener by a point to Burbank High Thursday.

“We did a nice job on defense,’ Lathrop head coach Ed Fang said. “But the first quarter made things an uphill battle.”

The Spartans (2-4) were outscored by 10 points in the first, giving Burbank a nice cushion from the start.

Lathrop’s woes at the free throw line continued, as the Spartans only converted on 6-of-16 attempts from the line. Janet Visaya was the lone Spartan in double figures with 12.

Ripon 66, Chavez 43

“We were able to do a nice job on defense,” Ripon head coach George Contente said. “And we made some positive adjustments on offense and things went pretty well.”
