The girls basketball team cruised past the Saydel Eagles 60-30 last Friday night to start the first home varsity double-header game of the season and stay undefeated. The team had complete control on both sides of the floor, shutting down the Eagles early in the game. 

Addi Steehoek led the team with 16 points and five assists. Libby Winters pulled down the most rebounds with four offensive and three defensive, ending the night with a total of seven rebounds. 

Tori Lindsay had 11 points, with an impressive 57% field goal percentage. Kyra Naeve finished the night with eight points, and Lila Milani put in six points. 

Lindsay and Winters both had three steals. Rebecca DeVries chipped in two points and five rebounds. Camden Webb and Bailey Wheeler each contributed two points and an assist, with Wheeler also grabbing a steal. 

Lilly Knapp ended the night with two points and a rebound and Lexi Fagg swiped one steal. Jayden Fridley and Kenna Grier both pulled down one rebound.

The team played an overall amazing game, with Head Coach Samantha Allison-Rodriguez commenting on how the team has improved since their first game, “I think we’re getting better every day. That’s the goal we’ve been working on all season.”

When asked about what the team needs to improve on she said, “Consistently getting three stops in a row. Three stops in a row will get us a whole lot of wins this year.” She adds, “I think we’re really active. If we talk on defense and stay active really good things happen, so we’ll keep working on consistently getting after it on the defensive end.”

The team has a very promising season ahead of them and is working hard every day to continue their electric start.
