Playoff Picture
Before we dive into the girls playoff picture, here is the RAW video of the Boys Alumni Game from All-Star Sunday.
4th Grade
Win and they are in. They play a team with a (3-4) record this Saturday morning. If they lose, they will in all likelihood be out. So their playoffs begin this Saturday.
6th Grade
Clinched a playoff spot, and will likely play the team they play this Sunday. It would be good to get a psychological advantage by winning this final game of the season. Kaela's return is still unknown.
7th Grade
Clinched a playoff spot and all they can do is wait. Their playoff opponent can still be anybody at this point.
8th Grade
Clinched a playoff spot and all they can do is wait as well. They are going to either by the #1 or #2 seed.
Baseball Teams
Unfortunately, both teams have been eliminated from the playoffs.

8th grade finishes regular season with a win
Cynthia scored 14 points as the 8th grade girls finished an impressive (7-1) season with a 27-2 romp Saturday afternoon.
Playing against a team they clobbered in the tournament, the girls didn't waste any time and put the game away early, leading 8-2 after one.
They continued to tack on, so much that they rested Cynthia in the final minutes of the 4th quarter.
For a team that hardly practices as a team, they will somehow finish the regular season in either the top spot or second spot in the division.
Not jumping too far ahead of ourselves, but barring a collapse, they will meet St. Thomas More in the championship.
The girls looked a lot better than they did Friday night and converted on more layups than they did the day before.
Ball movement in the half court set was probably the best its been the entire year.
One things the girls need to work on is their footwork. They hardly have strong pivots and a lot of them still do not jump. Having good footwork will be essential for their playoff run.

Christine powers 6th grade to a big win
With Kaela out for the third consecutive game, it looks like the 6th grade has found someone to step up in her place.
Christine scored a career high 6 points and continued her string of games where she contributes on the offensive and defensive ends.
On a fast break in the second half, Christine was sent hard to the floor and a timeout had to be called in order for her to regroup and compose herself.
Then she stepped up to the free throw line to knock down both shots.
She also scored a breakaway layup and hit a shot right by the basket off of a nice Michaela pass.
It's those type of efforts the 6th grade needs as Kaela continues to recover from injury.
Michaela had 6 points and Lily added in 4 points.
Their record now sits at (4-3), good enough right now for second in the division. They have already clinched a playoff berth.

7th grade wraps up their season
The 7th grade girls got a gift even before they took the court Friday night as it was announced their game Saturday would not be played due to the other team forfeiting.
Then they went out and played a basketball game and won 19-6.
Their record will stand at (6-2) to close out the regular season, good enough for a playoff berth.
Jamie was the only girl on the team who had the somewhat hot hand Friday night, scoring a game high 13 points.
Defensively, the girls just swarmed the ball all game creating havoc for the other team. Unfortunately, it could not translate to as many points since the girls seemed a bit off on their lay-ups.
Fiona scored 2 points but she didn't have the rhythm of the last two games. Kelly and Victoria both added a bucket a piece.
With a free win Saturday, the girls will be going to the playoffs for the second straight year. Their opponent is unknown at this time as none of the other teams in the division have completed their regular season schedule.

8th grade ekes out win
The 8th grade avoided an upset Friday night and pulled out a 13-11 game in which they probably didn't deserve to win.
Cynthia had a game high 8 points, but shot a donut from the free throw line going 0-for-8.
As a whole, the team played pretty solid defense, but offensively could not make a bucket to save their lives. Countless layups and putbacks were all off and that resulted in a close game that could've and should've been a little more lopsided.
It's a quick turnaround for the girls as they conclude their regular season Saturday afternoon.
At (6-1), they are a lock for the playoffs, and now are playing for the number one seed.
If they win their final game, and the other one loss team loses a game before the season's end, the 8th grade can lock up number one.

4th graders dethrone first place team
The 4th grade girls are on the cusp of their first playoff berth after trouncing the previously undefeated number one team in their division Friday night 4-0.
Offense has been lacking in the last two 4th grade games but the girls find a way to get it done.
After squeaking out a 5-4 victory last week, they pitched a shutout.
Their defense has been very strong the last two games and even when their offense isn't clicking, the defense keeps them in the game.
Sofia hit a shot in the 2nd quarter as the girls got on the scoreboard first. Veronica then added a basket in the 3rd quarter and that was the scoring for the night.
The other team played strong defense but their offense really struggled, evident by their blanking.
A win over the best team in the division, at least record wise, shows that this division is up for grabs and anybody can easily roll off a few victories to take the title.
After going winless in their inaugural season, the 4th grade can punch their ticket to the post-season with a win next Saturday morning in Pacifica.
Lose, and they'll need to hope a few other teams do the same before they know their fate.
