The Covid has made all of us step up into different areas to help our fellow Pirates. Coach Cordero took time for arrangements and remembering her father, who succumbed to the disease. She asked me to finish the season with her 7th Grade ladies. Last night, January 28th, Karnes City had no team of 7th Graders but Coach Bohl allowed me to sit on the bench with her team as they played their final game at home. What amazing gains have been made this year amid uncertainty. Unfortunately, the ladies, who held the lead after the first three quarters failed to hold to the end. The strengths of this team could be seen as they closed out the first half. The size of this group was able to stretch the half time lead to 13 - 7 as they snagged offensive rebounds. Ari Garcia led the ladies with 8 points, Valentina Ayala added 5, and Addison Criado, Marlena Cuellar, Gigi Haltom and Lunna Reyes each added two apiece. Thanks for all the support the parents and teachers have given these young athletes.
