Freshmen
Girls on Fire
By Becky Wu
Freshman basketball girls
are on fire! They are undefeated in first place under the leadership
of captains Kelsey Byrd and Jazzmyne
Ross.
The team has maintained its aggressiveness since the start of
the season. They easily defeated St. Francis 38-16, Mitty 31-20,
St. Ignatius 43-32, and Sacred Heart Cathedral 52-28. The game
against Presentation last Wednesday was a bit rough, but the girls
kept their position. They lost a bit of focus during the first
quarter; but quickly returned to beat Presentation 49-22. Freshmen
coach Richard Harris said, They jumped out
too early in the first quarter, but we redeemed ourselves in the
second quarter, which was good. It was overall a great game, a
great team effort, everyone got to play and contribute. The frosh
girls played second place team Notre Dame and remained undefeated
with a score of 34-19. Ross said, We have a great defense, we
work hard and we play hard.
Byrd is lead scorer with a total of 143 points, and an average
of 14.3 points per game. Ross, following in second, scored a total
of 72 points with an average of 7.2 points per game. Amy
Griffith has a total of 61 points and an average of 6.1
per game. Griffith said, I love playing basketball, its just
a fun sport.

Winter Ball
As guys scrounge up the nerve to ask that special girl to Winter
Ball, girls are spending their time in dress shops looking for
that perfect dress. The worst-case scenario would be for a girl
to walk into Decathlon and see another girl wearing the same dress.
The only way to avoid this terrible situation is to buy a one
of a kind dress from a smaller less popular dress store.
