On Friday, December 8, 2023, the Junior Varsity girls played against Cole. The game didn't go as we hoped for as we fell to Cole 17-27. It was a very hard-fought, physical game. Most of the girls were in foul trouble throughout the whole game, making it very tough to put pressure on the ball and create turnovers. In the first half, we were open for some good shots, but the ball did not fall our way. In the second half, some of our shots were finally falling in. Throughout the second half of the game, the Lady Pirates found themselves putting Cole on the free-throw line. The Junior Varsity Pirates shot only 8 times, and we put Cole on the line 22 times, which was the 10-point difference in our score.
I am so very proud of these girls playing with so much energy and effort, no matter what the situation at hand was.
