This year the Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team learned that work in the offseason can really pay off. The team practiced about 2 times a week last summer to improve their skills. They improved on the 3 wins and 17 losses of the year before, to 15 wins and 6 losses this season. Willingness to improve and dedication were big factors in the success of the team. There was balance in both the guard and forward courts. The team had a lot of close games and came out the winners in all of them. Mr. Hoffmann, head varsity coach said, “The highlights of the season were beating LaSalle twice and beating topranked Jefferson in the last regular season game.” Both Coach Jensen and Hoffmann think that next year will be a rebuilding year because they lost 7 valuable seniors who were regular starters. Coach Hoffman says, “There will be a direct correlation between the work in the off-season and next year’s showing.” Both coaches feel that the underclassmen could play an important role in the team’s success.
