Fisk had a hunch what Southwest Christian wanted to do against the Panthers during the season-opening game for both teams Tuesday in Edgerton.Unfortunately for EHS, knowing something and doing something about it are two different things.As expected, SWC came out with a full-court press. The Panthers prepared for SWC’s pressure, but it didn’t pay off as the E-Gals took advantage of 15 Ellsworth turnovers to help record a 63-39 advantage over EHS."I knew exactly what they would do, and we couldn’t do anything about it," Fisk stated."They pressed us early and forced us into a number of turnovers. It was a man-to-man press, and we couldn’t handle it."SWC, a team expected to contend for the Red Rock Conference championship this winter, gained control of the game early by outscoring the Panthers 33-18 in the first half.The situation didn’t improve for EHS in the second half, when the E-Gals used a 30-21 scoring cushion to win by 34.Amy Tiesler led the Panthers with 15 points and three blocked shots in the game. She charted three assists along with teammate Amanda Connors.Rosie Lewis scored 10 points and led EHS with six rebounds.
