Turnovers costly in girls’ debut

Some untimely turnovers hurt the Ely Timberwolves during their season-opener.

Those miscues allowed Cromwell to open up a double-digit lead in the opening half, and the always-strong Cardinals ran away from the retooling Wolves 66-42 in a Nov. 21 high school girls basketball contest.

Ely, which has made four straight trips to the Section 7A semifinals and lost to the Cardinals each time, gave the hosts a run early on but soon faded.
