Eagle of the Week Returns
Basketball is in full swing which means, Eagle of the Week is back! This week, we would like to recognize Lily Hodge, Quinn Bowers, Avery Leimbach, Anna Vierecke and Rita Mucha. On Saturday, January 5th these girls started their game with just 4 players. Even with the arrival of a 5
th
player, that still meant no substitutions and no breaks! By the end of the game all of the girls were exhausted. They played a scrappy, hard fought game and ended up losing a close contest, yet there wasn't a single complaint. They sprinted up and down the court against an opponent that ran 2 full lines. They played as team, worked hard and never gave up. Coaches Chris Mucha and Blake Bowers are very proud of their effort, poise and attitude. And so are we! You ladies define what it means to be Eagle of the Week. Congrats.
