SPORTS/CLUBS-
5th-8th grade MS Club Softball- sign-up sheet is in the office.
7th grade girls basketball- finally got the tables turned at Ithaca Thursday night by defeating the yellowjackets 17-15. This avenges an earlier loss just a few days ago.
The defense stood out for both teams as each team struggled to get clean shot attempts off.
Corrina Gomez started to find the way to the basket consistently scoring all 9 of her points in the second and third quarter. It was enough as the Huskies failed to score at all in the 4th quarter but held the yellowjackets to a lone free throw.
Mya Wunsch scored 4 points while Madi Penny chipped in 3. Jaedyn Malleck added a free throw before fouling out. While Emma Streich, Sophia Hauffe and Nataly Bodziachowski did not score, they combined their defensive efforts to help shut down Ithaca's best player in the 4th quarter.
8th Grade Girls Basketball- Last night Our 9 Incredibles gave everything they had but fell a little short to Ithaca. The score was 43-47. Regan Finkbeiner had 18 points as well as 5 steals. Chloe Watson had 9 points and 3 steals. Breanna Turner put up 6 points and 1 free-throw for a total of 7 points. Ella Wardlow contributed 5 points as well as several rebounds. Averi Hall scored 2 points. Charlie Munger also scored 2 points for her team. Any loss is hard to go through, but these girls are tough and can grab more wins for the rest of the season. Keep fighting girls!
