The girls basketball teams had a game on 12/19! It was a home game against Sunset Middle School. The A team won! And the B team lost, but it was a close game. Their next game will be on 1/11/23 at Carbon Valley Rec Center against Firestone! I interviewed some of the players on the team! 

People who were interviewed:

• 7th Grader Alaina Loomis
• 7th Grader Mandy Roth

Here are their results:

• Playing with a team and coaches who believe in me and help me learn.

Do you like playing for your school?

• Yeah. 
• Yes.

If you answered yes to the above question, why do you like playing for your school?

• Because I get to hang out with my buds, play the game I love, and represent our school.
• All of the Dragons and parents are supportive and eager to learn. 

What does it feel like at a home game when everyone is cheering for your team and it gets really loud?

• It makes me pumped up and ready to show the other team that this is OUR HOUSE!
• Having a school community to back you up takes just a little bit of the pressure off playing against other schools.

Are you excited for the next game?
