Taking a look at Pre-Season Girl’s Basketball

            Every winter brings a time when students, both male and female, can take part in a sport that gets their adrenaline going. It releases their tension and drives them to push themselves to do better. However, the upcoming girl’s basketball season could be interesting.

            Rumors have been flying around the school about the upcoming basketball season, and I personally have friends on the team. At the recent girl’s basketball meeting, eleven girls showed up. That isn’t very many, considering that 12 are able to dress out. Even though only eleven girls showed up to the meeting, rumors have flown around that somewhere between ten and fifteen girls plan on playing this year. Still, that’s not many.

            Other rumors are flying around are that Mission’s Girl’s Basketball coach, Coach Rice, is resigning. Although he hasn’t turned in a resignation, he already told his team of girls that he won’t be coaching this year. Many of the girls are concerned that they will not have a coach for the upcoming season. However, the athletic director, Rich Ferris, was very confident about finding someone to fill the position and isn’t too concerned about not having a girl’s team this year. Hayley Carr has stepped up and is going to be coaching the girl’s team this year.

            The season ahead looks interesting, between the new coach and a smaller team. Returning seniors this year are Carley Elverud and Courtney Charlo. With the upcoming season, anything can happen.
