Girls' Basketball Hopes to turn Season Around
With the season half way done already, many people would look at the girls’ basketball team as having a very unsuccessful season. However, anyone who thinks that obviously hasn’t been out to see a game yet this season.
The girls’ varsity team consists of four captains. These captains are seniors Nydia Griffin and Stephanie Schuetz, and junior captains Stephanie Pogwidz and Sonya Steder. Other members of the varsity team are juniors Brooke Frantzen, Jo Jo Sanchez, Kristin Brouch, and sophomore Natalie Perry. These girls have been working extremely hard in hopes that they will be able to turn around the second half of their season.
“I really think that we’ll be able to get a couple of more wins this half of the season. We’ve been starting to play more like a team,” said Stephanie Pogwidz. “We’ve been working hard, and it’s bound to pay off. It’s going to be really hard without Nydia next year. She has been my inspiration.”
Nydia Griffin and Stephanie Schuetz lead the team as being the only seniors. “It would be great to leave after this year knowing that we were competitive and things turned around for us,” said Stephanie Schuetz. “We were competitive the first half, hopefully the wins will start coming.”
The girls have been working very hard this year. They have become very good friends and have a lot of fun together. They have been competitive in every game that they have played in. The seniors, Nydia and Stephanie, will be missed next year. They are great leaders and friends.
The sophomore and freshman girls also have been working very hard this year. The sophomore team consists of Blythe Nelson, Lauren Schweitzer, Marsella Fonseca, Miriam Fonseca, Katie Miller, Kayla Miller, Nicole Carrol, Kendra Bradley, Elizabeth Eversole, and Lorena Arriaga, and Monica Padilla. The freshman team consists of Katherine Chandler, Alyssa Fonseca, Rachel Miller, Taylor Lavoy, Jenny Taptitch, Crysta Hoffman, Alexia Gobblet, and Natalie Steinwart. The freshman team is doing very well. Their record is 7-1, and they’re battling for conference.
The girls’ basketball team is very fun to watch. The next varsity and sophomore game is on Friday, January 25, at home against Marian Catholic, so come and watch!
