They did just that and were able to have fun while also coming out on top.
Although the girls displayed tremendous strength, they also faced challenges during this game. They had to learn to weave their way around the difficulties they faced.

While facing these challenges, the team worked as a whole to ultimately rise above their opponents. The teamwork they displayed led them to this prosperous win.
“The victory was really a team effort, everyone had points, steals, and rebounds. Even the bench was engaged and cheering during the entire game. We couldn’t have done it without everyone,” Roberts describes as to what led them to victory.
“We worked hard together and played really good defense,” Barnhart also commented on their teamwork.
Despite difficulties, the girls varsity team has been able to end victorious against many league opponents. They continue with a league record of 7-1, and their only loss comes to that of Trenton.
