The young girls’ varsity basketball team has thus far struggled to a 2-11 record in their first 13 games. The girls have shown strength on the defensive side of the ball, limiting opponents to about 48 points per game. The weakness comes more on the offensive side and the inability to gain momentum, which Coach Kenny Prather is trying to achieve. “We are going to have an explosive offense and do what we need to do to win,” said Prather.

The players are not using their youth as a justification for their record, but rather as inspiration to improve and be ready for playoffs. “The fact that our team is so young could never be an excuse; our goal is to work harder and play to our abilities every day,” said sophomore Christine Black.

The girls are currently looking at the lowest seed in the 4A North division, but have the ability to get a higher seed.

“I believe in our girls; we aren’t just a team, we are a family. We have the tenacity and the will to win; we are never going ti back down,” said junior Marybeth Bidwick.
