The Grade 8 girls' basketball team defeated STA 26-24 yesterday to advance to the North Shore Final. The Cavs will now face a formidable opponent in Arygle who have been riding roughshod over all North Shore opposition this year. It will be a tough test for the Cavs, but coaches Lee and Morris will have the girls ready for Tuesday's tilt. Here is Coach Morris' game report:
As the low score indicates, there was some great defence played by both teams last night. The game was neck to neck the whole time, with multiple lead changes.
Seli had an incredible game being aggressive, rebounding, taking it hard to the hoops and winning a lot of jump ball battle. Sara again was a driving force on offence, while she absolutely stifled her check at the defensive end of the court. At a crucial point of the game, Liz scored back to back baskets after rebounding her own miss on a foul shot. Heather didn't come off the floor the whole game giving us a cool, positive vibe throughout the match against the loud, excitable game
It was a huge team effort with lots of energy coming from the bench.
