The varsity girls’ basketball team came home last weekend with a win after beating Damonte 30-28.
“It was a very physical game, the refs were just letting us play without calling many fouls,” said junior Jillian Albright. “We really struggled with scoring, however, we did much better than the weekend before with moving the ball and hustling up and down the court,” said Albright.
The Lowry girls had to battle, with the refs not calling much and it being such a physical game. Senior Meg Montero called it a “low-scoring, defensive type game,” and added, “We came out with the win and are looking to improve every game.”
“It’s nice having another win under our belts. We do still have lots to work on and we need to keep working hard,” said Albright.
With this win, the varsity girls’ pre-season record sits at 2-3. With that record, the girls are sitting at number six in the Division 1A Northern League.
“We did better last weekend than we did the weekend before,” said junior Hayley Hall. “We still have a lot to work on. We need to rebound more shots and get more to sink,” Hall added.
“We all set goals for ourselves as individuals, but as a team, we need to work on believing in what we do,” commented Jasmine Marchand when asked about improvements.
The team may have a long way to go, but they have already come a long way since their first practice.
“The season is going pretty good, We have a good, strong team this year,” said Hall.
Lowry plays South Tahoe at home on December 19 at 5 p.m. in the Old Gym.
