The Girls JV Basketball team has taken on three teams so far this year, facing off with Baltic, Tri-Valley, and Chester over the past two weeks.
Head Coach Amber Williamson noted a solid start to the season against Baltic.
"The Junior Varsity girls team opened up with a win against Baltic for the first game of the season," Williamson said. "After getting off to a slow start the first half, the Lady Dragons fought back and were able to seal the victory in the 4th quarter, coming away with a 23-19 win."
Amaya Millwood led in scoring, attaining six points. Jordan DeWitte took home five points, and Brooklyn Trudeau and Alyssa Olson had 3 points each.
The team then headed to Tri-Valley on Tuesday, December 5th to face the Mustangs.
"We struggled against their aggressive man to man defense and were only able to net 18 points," said Williamson. They came away with a final score of 18-47. Ava Ockenga led in scoring with 7 points, 2 steals, and 4 rebounds. DeWitte had six rebounds and two assists.
On Saturday, the JV team again took to the road, heading to Chester. Unfortunately, they again took the loss, 24-29.
"Despite only being able to play two quarters we showed improvement from our last game," said Williamson. "However, we were not able to outlast the Flyers and ended up losing 24-29."
Ockenga and DeWitte led the way in scoring with 7 points each. Ashely Harris and Olson added 4 points apiece, and Gracie Fiegen rounded out the scoring with 2 points. Ockenga had 3 offensive rebounds and Olson had 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 assists.
