Basketball is "better than yesterday"

Girls' basketball teams are hopeful about accomplishing season goals ahead

---

Girls varsity and Junior Varsity basketball teams plan on using a new mind-set, as well as experience to achieve their goals. They plan on taking the teams all the way to the end, championships and all.

Varsity's point guard and one of two captains, Katryna Adamski ('21) plans to win conference and districts this year. Winning these will earn the team a championship banner on the gym wall. She believes the team's experience, along with mind-set, will lead the team to victory.

"The biggest asset of the team is our new philosophy. Every time we walk in the gym we want to be better than yesterday. The whole team is focused on improving and I really think that's what we need this season. I'm hopeful this season will be a lot more successful than last season. We have a great team culture built on trust and faith in each other," Adamski said.

Early November, varsity had their first official game of the season. This game was against their rivals, Sunlake High School. After versing and defeating Sunlake 46-42, shooting guard Hannah Judd ('22), speaks optimistically about the rest of the season.

"The biggest asset with the team this year will be how hard we all work individually and together. The high energy and motivation we all have to succeed is definitely a big thing to. Being on the team this year feels like home to us all. We all work hard and succeed as a family. The positivity on the court is endless no matter how the game is going," Judd said.

Their mentality and determination led varsity to win their first three official games with scores of 46-42, 62-17, and 59-62. Although Junior Varsity lost their first game, it was a close game ending in a score of 36-27. To support their ongoing season, varsity's next game takes place at 6 p.m. on Dec. 13 at Hudson High School. Junior Varsity also has an upcoming game at 6 p.m. on Dec. 19 at Weeki Wachee High School.
