Basketball Off To a Good Start

The varsity girls are off to a good start despite dropping games to Burges and Coronado. The girls came out flat against Coronado but battled back to erase a twenty three point deficit and make it a game in the last quarter. We are young all around and depend heavily on our juniors to step up. The one sophomore we have on the team, Dorothy Stewart, has been a nice surprise. She is tough in the paint and plays hard when she gets the chance. This week the girls faced the number three team in the city, Burges, and took them down to the wire before losing on the free throw line. We were outmatched in the paint but we were scrappy the entire game and held a lead in the fourth quarter. Burges has a great point guard who put up twenty plus against us and they are a team who will be competing for a District title this year. Heading to Canutillo to play in their tournament today. We face Chapin in the first round so our work doesn't get any easier. Good to face this competition early. (Just found out that we are playing tonight without our point guard and best player). Jr's have to play big again to get past the huskies.
