No Cinderella slipper

TRACY - The 15th-seeded Davis High School girls basketball team has grown to like playing teams in the southern part of the Sac-Joaquin Section. But West of Tracy got the better of the Blue Devils this season, posting a 52-37 win on Thursday in the first round of the section playoffs.

The No. 2-seeded Wolf Pack (23-5) may not be as good as their record, but they were strong enough to eliminate DHS, a section semifinalist the last two seasons. Star Whitney Howard had 19 points and 10 rebounds for West.

The Blue Devils got 12 points and 14 rebounds from junior Nikol Allison, although Allison was just 4-for-24 from the field. Torryn Taylor added seven points for the Blue Devils (13-14), who lose just one player to graduation.
