The 6th/7th graders needed a win and they got one.
In a must win game to keep their playoff hopes alive, the girls grinded out a 12-6 win, which puts them on the doorstep of the playoffs.
If you were looking for a fundamentally sound and fun game to watch, this wasn't it. In fact, it was probably the opposite. Both teams were sloppy and looked dysfunctional at times, but it was the 6th/7th grade girls that scored when they needed to, and they came out the victors.
Shots on goal aren't a huge stat in basketball, but definitely note worthy Friday night. The 6th/7th graders were able to get off plenty of shots while their defense forced the other team into plenty of turnovers.
Michaela had a game high 6 points, and hit two free throws on a one-in-one late in the contest to seal the game.
They went into the 2nd quarter down 2-0 and scored four points to take a two point lead at halftime.
Two of those points came from Jacqueline who scored her first basket of the year. Off a Becky fast break, she trailed the play and the ball found her right at the elbow. She swished a jump shot.
At (4-3), the girls can clinch a playoff spot with a win in their final game. For the first this season, they have a modest winning streak at two games. A third win in a row means they will be post-season bound.
