She’s been a star since she first exited the hospital by ripping off a string of cartwheels as a mere newborn.
Or at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
These days Savina Wells, who dazzled Wolf fans for a decade-plus, is a sophomore at Fernandina Beach High School in Florida, where she’s wowing the locals in a second sport.
Coming off of a strong volleyball season, Izzy and Ulrik’s younger sibling is now torching the basketball net in her first go-round as a Pirate.
Showing off the hardwood skills she first honed in Coupeville, the youngest of Katy and Lyle’s children went off for 26 points Wednesday in a 43-37 win over West Nassau.
Savina was aces at the free-throw line, netting 10-12 on charity shots, including rippling the net on a pair after her foes were whistled for a technical foul.
Fernandina Beach is off to a 3-0 start on the court, with a game Friday against a 1-6 Fletcher squad.
Through three games, Savina has racked up 40 points, 25 rebounds, two assists, eight steals, and four blocked shots.
She sits #1 on the team in scoring and blocks, and #2 in rebounds.
Even with 6 AM practices, Savina is enjoying herself, while not forgetting about former teammates such as Lyla Stuurmans or Maddie Georges.
“This will be a fun season to watch!” said mom Katy. “Wolves, we are cheering you on too!!”
