Like Kathryn, the younger Westbeld is headed to Notre Dame next season.
In the meantime, she is trying to get the Firebirds back to the state championship game.
With Westbeld leading the GWOC in rebounding (11.4 per game) and third in scoring (20.0 points per game), Fairmont is 15-1 overall and 8-1 in the GWOC American. Their only loss is at Wayne, the division’s No. 1 squad as of this writing, and a rematch is set for Trent Arena on Jan. 29.
