Girls Basketball wins against Westminster

By Jenny Archer

At their first home game of the season on November 30, the girls' varsity basketball team, led by new coach Tom Bradbury played Westminster High School, winning 78 to 26.

“It was a really good game for the beginning of the season,” junior Mac Cassin said.

High scorers were junior Stephanie James and sophomore Chelsie Flagg.

The team established a strong lead during the first quarter of the game, and maintained a steady advantage throughout the game. When players missed scoring attempts, they were quick to rebound and maintained control of the ball throughout most of the game.

It was a fairly fast-paced game. The girls showed skill at keeping the ball moving. They were constantly passing to each other, and making shots.

The team recovered nicely from its first game of the season, a 22-66 loss against Lakewood High School.

The boys' varsity team, led by new coach, Ray Van Heukelem, also beat Westminster at Westminster on November 30 by a score of 71-36. The boys' junior varsity team won 23-61.

The girls' team won again December 1 at Cherokee Trail, and the boys' plays at home against Cherokee Trail on December 3rd.
