Basketball

Savannah tried out basketball this year for the first time.  She wasn't confident dribbling the ball, but she did pretty well on defense and scored a few buckets throughout the season.  Her team ended up at 2nd in the league, winning 7 of 9 league games.  They advanced to the championship game in the playoffs, winning the first 2 rounds.  The championship game was decided in overtime, with Savannah's team winning 20-16.  She got to be on a winning team this season! 

There was one game when everyone on her team had scored except Savannah.  They graciously designed play around her until she finally made a basket as well!  It was nice to have all of her team pulling for her and cheering her on.





Owen made the school frosh (freshman/sophomore) team this year.  His season started immediately after football ended (season overlap).  Owen's team only won 8 out of 22 games, so they struggled a bit.  Owen started the first 7 games at a forward position and then got injured.  He was out for a couple games and then had Christmas break to recover.  However, when he returned in January, he had lost his starting spot.  He maintained his positive attitude all season though and was a good asset to his team.  He got the coaches award at the end of the season for his good sportsmanship, positive attitude, and being coachable.  He didn't score many points (2-4 points a game), but he was more valuable at defense and rebounding.  His season high was 6 points in one game.
