Lady Basketball Ballers

Basketball season has just begun for the seventh grade Lady Yearlings. The coaches as well as the players are very excited about the start of the season.

Just recently the A and B teams played in a tournament. Both A and B teams lost to Tejada, but redeemed themselves by beating Alamo Heights. It takes being on the gym floor by 6:15 Mon-Fri to make it on the basketball team. But if you strive to succeed you need to play like every game is your last. When you scrimmage in practice play like your playing to win a championship game. Never give up and never put your head down.

The A team coach, Coach Hampton, says, “The A team will win district this year!”  because she has extremely hardworking athletes. She also said that, “The girls have made my job a lot easier because they have brought a lot of skills to the table.” She says she enjoys coaching the A team because she likes pushing the girls to their limits. Coach Rocheleau, who coaches the B team, says they’ve overcome many obstacles, such as the challenge of dribbling and not traveling as much. She also says that, “They’ve become better offensive and defensive players.” When asked about which girls show outstanding effort she said “All of them show it, but Bethany Fisher and Sarah Perez really stick out.” She said that some of the best highlights were when one of our girls faced out an Eisenhower girl, and when they beat Eisenhower in the final seconds. Coach Coleman who coaches the GO team says, “I’m very excited to be working with 41 girls. We have alot of girls that are learning very quickly and enjoying the fast pace of the game.” She also said she’s very impressed with one of the smallest girls on the team who plays like a big girl, Jacely Garcia. She also said, “I’m impressed with my beast, Miraya Jennings.” Coach Coleman says she loves coaching her team and so do all of the coaches. To win district the girls are going to have to play like they never have and beat any teams that stand in their way. It will be tough, but the seventh grade Lady basketball team will prevail and make their school proud.

Hopefully the seventh grade Lady Yearlings have an amazing season and overcome any challenges that come their way.
