Last week, the Varsity Girls Basketball team played against Mayville and Algonac. The final score for the Mayville game was 46-43 with Mayville pulling through for the win. Even though the girls didn't win, they played hard and will surely beat them next time. The leading scorer was Jessica Peters with 24 points. Lauren Abromaitis had 11 points, Sophia Peter had 3 points, Jenna Peters had 2 points, and Ashley Hickmott had 2 points.

On Friday, the team lost to Algonac, 50-17. The team played very well against this tough team and was able to grow from the experience. The leading scorer was Ava DeVlaminck with 4 points. Keira Miller had 3 points, Jessica Peters had 3 points, Ashley Hickmott had 2 points, Jenna Peters had 2 points, Olivia Stickler had 2 points, and Sophia Peter had 1 point. Great job, ladies, and get them next time!
