Freshman Elle Willenborg Shines For Griffins – Is a Byron, Carlson, Petri & Kalb Athlete of the Month for McGivney

GLEN CARBON – The Father McGivney Catholic High School girls basketball team rosters eight upperclassmen, six of whom are seniors.

It rosters four sophomores and one freshman.

Her name is Elle Willenborg, and she’s made her presence known.

Willenborg had her best shooting performance of the season on Wednesday, November 26, in her team’s home-opening win over Roxana.

She scored a team-high 14 points, including four three-pointers in the first quarter.

For her recent success, she is a Byron, Carlson, Petri & Kalb Athlete of the Month for Father McGivney.

“She’s got a great feel for the game; she knows how to play,” her head coach, Jeff Oller, said. “She feels comfortable with pressure, she’s not going to force it offensively; she’s going to make the right plays.”

The Griffins are currently 3-1 on the season.

In addition to basketball, Willenborg just had a successful first season of tennis.
