With the winter sports season coming to an end, girls basketball pushes their way to the playoffs. With an outstanding season record of 16-4 the girls show their mental and physical toughness. With the idea of going all the way, senior captains Brighid Smith and Casey Kissinger reveal their feelings on their season. Smith claims, “I think we have to continue to put in the work, and we are confident we can go far and get the outcome we want in the playoffs.” Kissinger also exerts similar ideas when she says, “I am so proud of how everyone stepped up after last season and put in effort everyday, practice or game. Now we need to keep up the intensity and confidence as we will be seeing a lot of tough teams in the playoffs.” With these captains pushing these ideas in harmony it proves their phenomenal leadership, and the team definitely has the record to prove it.
