Basketball--Jessica Foster and John Southworth

This year, the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams proved that even though they were a first year program, that they are a growing force.
The girls’ team ended their season with a record of five wins and eight losses. Sophomore Obnette Woodward said of being on the team, “It was awesome I loved it. I got in shape. Our coaches weren’t overly strict, so we had a great time and still learned a lot from them.” Kelsey Fletcher, sophomore, added, “It was a fun season because of how the team played well together and got along to help everyone had the fun of going to the tournament.” Despite a rough road as a first year team and a losing record, the girls felt successful as they improved their skills and had a lot of fun playing together.
The boys’ team ended their season with a record of eight wins and ten losses. One of the biggest takeaways for the boys was the feeling that they all grew as a team and as individual players. Carver Davis, sophomore commented on the extensive training they went through saying, “Even though we had to run I’m glad; now I’m in the best shape of my life.”
Thanks to stellar coaches, Chris O’Neil and Rob Durant, the team kept growing in number as more boys wanted on the team throughout the season. Freshman Kyle Dwiggins said of his experience: “The coaches were great! I learned a lot from them.”
Everyone on both teams agreed that they played hard and had a lot of fun doing it.
