Girls Varsity Basketball Falls to Warde

By Mary Brown
On Tuesday, January 13th, the Girls Varsity Basketball team traveled to Fairfield to take on Warde in a hard game in which they battled until the very end. Warde is known to be a very strong team in the league, so the Blue Wave knew they were up against tough competition. However, this certainly did not stop them from giving it all they had and demonstrating just how much they have improved so far this season.

With slight difficulty coming out at their highest potential at the start of the game, the Wave was only able to score 17 points in the first half. However, with a final score of 59-67, the girls showed their will to win and had a very impressive second half scoring a total of 40 points. “Although we came out a little flat, we really pushed through and left it all on the court” said senior captain Avery Maley.

With notable performances from Maley as well as juniors Kaeleigh Morrill and Emily Coyle, the Wave showed that they are certainly not a team that can be overlooked this winter. Come support the girls in their next home game on Friday, January 16th against Brien McMahon.
