The JV Girls Basketball team battled in a thriller vs Cedar Springs. Leading up to the game we spent a lot of time talking about being confident and playing with energy. It was a slow start for both teams until Cedar Springs capitalized on a few costly turnovers to build the lead going into Halftime up 13-6. Towards the end of the 3rd quarter down 17-8 Taya Hull drained a huge 3pt shot to end the quarter down 17-11. Eric, Our awesome Trainer was often called onto the court in the 4th quarter to help with several injured lady Eagles. This did not slow them down! Our girls rallied together with “The next girl up” mentality and they delivered! Many girls played in positions they have never played before. In Fact, for a couple of girls this was the first time playing in an actual basketball contest, ever! During a 4th Quarter Time Out we talked about turning up the defensive pressure and needing to attack the hoop. Shelby Zimmer and Elli Max put pressure on their ball handlers and caused several turnovers. We chipped away at the lead however ran out of time and lost 21-17. I can't explain how proud I am of every one of these girls and how hard they played. It was a true team effort!!
Leaders on the night: Julia Miller 9pts Taya Hull 6pts Elli Max 2pts
