JV Girls
Get Tough
by Ryan Eshoff
In all of Northern California,
there is no stronger output of lower-level girls basketball than
the West Catholic Athletic League. This year’s J.V. girls are
experiencing the toughness, both mental and physical, that it
takes to compete in the WCAL.
The return of sophomore Morgan Allen from injury
leaves the squad with high hopes for the remainder of the season.
Under the guidance of former varsity assistant Dennis
Brown, the team features a wealth of sophomore talent,
including key contributors Monica Jackson, Sandra
Kreitem, and Sarah Johnson. After a
commendable 5-6 preseason, the team entered league play as a heavy
underdog. In the first week of WCAL play, the girls fell to St.
Francis by a 51-27 score, and were outlasted by Sacred Heart Prep,
42-30. Johnson and Allen led the team with their impressive inside-out
combination.
Facing a week of intense competition against the league’s best,
the girls devoted themselves to hard work. Starting off the trio
of games against Mitty, the Lady Warriors just did not have enough,
falling to the Monarchs 54-38. The team were given no breaks,
next matching up against the undefeated St. Ignatius Wildcats,
who were victorious 45-16. Finishing off the week against another
league power, Sacred Heart Cathedral, the ladies again came up
a little short against the Irish, 46-24.

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.
