I would like to start off by saying that I consider myself really blessed to work at a school with such terrific young athletes. The girls that tried out for basketball showed up at 6:45 am and worked extremely hard. Making cuts is very difficult but even more so when you can see the desire and dedication on every one of the girls faces. Thank you to each and every girl for trying out. That being said, here are the members of the 8th grade girls basketball team:

Aurjanee Alix
Caroline Cox
Chasiti Durden
Chelsea Ellis
Sara Espinosa
Jasmone Goudeau
Merete Lutz
Kathleen McClung
Alexis McDonald
Sara Mirza
Deja Owens
Hailey Sellers
Tatiana Smith

First practice is next Wednesday, October 29th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Parents we will need to have a short meeting. I will provide the girls with specifics next Wednesday.
