the girls contended well for all four quarters but fell 41-30 in the state semis. Great effort. Had chance to win late. More later…

OK… It’s morning now and I think these girls did a fantastic job this year. Truth be told, we played the best team remaining in the tournament yesterday and we could have beaten them. Consider this: our opponent scored 92 points on Thursday and we held them to 41 points yesterday.  We beat them on the boards; our defense did an excellent job of keeping them out of any rhythm.

And we came storming back in the fourth quarter. Our strong contingent of SBS fans made quite a racket which (perhaps!) helped induce turnovers by our opponent on three successive possessions — okay, the girls get 99% of the credit! We cut it to four or five with about 2:30 remaining and had the ball. A break here or there and we’re playing today in the finals.

What a great bunch of girls, and the prospects for next year are very, very strong.
