The Brooklyn’s girls varsity basketball team (3-2) faced off against Grand Valley this past Saturday.
Alexandra Nieves, Kelsey Bruzek, Marshay Smith, and Shariah Gailes put forth great effort in this game.
The first-quarter started strong with our Lady Canes determined to keep their winning streak of two alive.
The first quarter ended with Brooklyn in the lead 13-8.
The second-quarter was back and forth, but the Lady Canes still led at halftime, 18-15.
After a defensive struggle in the first half, the third quarter was much more offensively-efficient. Our Lady Canes maintained their lead heading into the fourth quarter, 32-26.
After doing extremely well throughout the game, the Lady Canes didn’t stop and only grew more determined as the clock began running out.
The fourth quarter ended with a score of 52-45 leaving Brooklyn victorious.
Freshman Delaney David said, “[Our team can improve by] staying focused every time we step on to the floor to practice and play. I think I played decent; I still have a lot to work on, but I just keep working harder and keep practicing. [I think everybody played] pretty good, but we still need to work on our offense though.”
David also added, “I’m pretty confident in my team every time we play, even though we have a very young team compared to others.”
Throughout the game, our Lady Canes had a total of eight fouls which is a good sign for future games.
The next upcoming varsity girls game will be at 7:00 tonight (Monday, December 9) at Parma Normandy High School. Show up and show support for our girls!
