GVBL Tournament Team Update
8th Grade Girls- Storm
The Storm closed out its GVBL Tournament Team experience at State College last weekend competing with the best teams in the state. The team battled fiercely in its first three games, falling short in each. However, in the team’s last game, it took down Towamencin convincingly, 52-33. Over the 5 years since the Storm formed in 4th grade, the team compiled an impressive record of 128-58. The Storm won two ICBA championships, several other leagues, dominated Malvern League play, and brought home multiple tournament championships. The Storm thanks GVBL for the support and opportunities over the years.  
7th Grade Girls- Diamonds
The Diamonds continued to improve as a team, finishing up with the Springford Tournament. They won one game before losing to eventual winner, East Norriton. They played weekly in the Malvern League, splitting their team in two to get playing time for all involved.  Macy Devine has seen her game get better each game, leading the team in scoring while Ali Bartlett and Aniya Hardikar man the ship at the point.
6th Grade Girls - Hive

The Ladies of the Hive were buzzing around the Happy Valley this weekend competing in the Pennsylvania State Basketball Championship! The Hive came home with a 3-1 record competing against a deep and talented field of the State’s best school district based basketball teams.  While failing to make the final 4 by virtue of a point differential tiebreaker, The Hive played terrific defense all weekend and beat three tough teams from the Pittsburgh area - the Hive’s only loss was to the eventual State Champions from South Fayette. 
5th Grade Girls- Lightning
The Lightning completed a successful inaugural season in the ICBA with a second place division finish in the regular season. The team came up one point short in a tough semifinal playoff loss to MARA, but they are already looking forward to building on this season’s success next year. The girls came together as a team over the course of their first season with each member improving and developing new skills.
