What was the highlight of your season? We had a lot of highlights, but the best one was beating Gilford at home. They are a great team so it was an amazing accomplishment, considering that our team is made up of almost all freshmen and sophomores. It was a hard fought game.
Who was the unsung hero of your team? Our unsung hero is Ali Robinson. Although she was out for most of the season due to injury, she was at every game and practice and was always the first one to encourage us when we came off the court. She made everyone feel a part of the team, and she was always willing to help you out.
What was the biggest surprise of the season? The biggest surprise of the season was when our bus broke down on our way to the playoff game at Fall Mountain. We sat on the bus for two hours waiting for a new bus to come get us. Even though we thought it was going to be awful, we actually had a great night bonding and becoming closer as a team. We eventually played at 10 p.m. and didn’t get home until 1:30 a.m.!
