Student Reporter: Mariah Keller



On Monday, November 10, the girls had their first basketball practice. The JV team consists of Aylin Birlik, Danielle Holzberger, Jessica Burant, Danielle DeHaai, Ashley DeSmidt, Brianna Weavers, Kelly Hubing, Liz Mandel, Macy Villa, and Anna Theike. The returning Varsity players from last year consist of Jordan Dykstra, Sadie Meinen, Abi VonHemburg, Rachel Slotman, Kristen Slotman, and Mariah Keller. Joining the Varsity team this year are Mallory Mentink and Kimberly Hoffmann, Stephanie Ruppel, Brittni Emperly, and Jackie Bruggink.


The teams are looking good and practicing hard to get ready despite all the fun and excitement of the football teams success. Due to the football team doing so well, the girls practiced at 6:00 AM Thursday morning before the state football game.
The Varsity is now 1-1 beating Oakfield 47-38 but losing to Howards Grove in overtime 51-46. They’re traveling to Elkhart Lake Thursday, December 4, hoping for a win. Next week’s games consist of Oostburg and Ozaukee, come cheer them on!
“This year’s team is playing together well and ready to make some noise in conference this year.” Says senior Jordan Dykstra.
