The girls basketball team finished their season 7-16 and averaged 40 points per game. Head coach Mikeala Smith highlighted senior Keira Lazarro as a defensive threat, senior Ciara Newton and sophomore Amanda Aragona as the team’s offensive threats and junior Jordan Dickerson as being the most well-rounded player.

Coach Smith said the team’s defense was their strength this season.

“We definitely were a defensive-minded team. From last year, we definitely improved in rebounding,” coach Smith said. “We had girls who stepped up and took on the job of guarding very big threats in the league.”

Coach Smith also commends the team for improving their free throw percentage this season. 

According to coach Smith, the Warriors’ major weakness was their turnovers.

“Our turnovers killed us this season, especially with ball pressure,” coach Smith said. “We need to make sure that we are finding ways to take care of the ball and then move the ball forward.”

Overall, coach Smith was proud of the team’s performance, especially for having seven wins in a season, which hasn’t been achieved since 2009-10.

“I was really proud of the girls. They showed grit and determination. They battled every single night,” coach Smith said. “They were competitive on the floor, and that’s what we’re going to continue to do during the offseason, preseason and into next season.”
