DW Girls Basketball Team has rough week

A combination of injuries and graduations have challenged the depth on the team and provided an early look into what the team may look like next year. As a result, the DW Girls basketball team dropped their last three games to Mabton, WWVA and Columbia.

“We suited up a very young team, with only one starter from last year having any real varsity minutes. They played with a lot of heart and did their best with the full court pressure that continued well into the third quarter. Injuries continue to hamper our squad, but we now have a week off until our next game. I am hopeful we can get a little rest and host RiverView next Tuesday with a healthy team. We are now 1-6.” — Desirae Jones, Assistant Girls Basketball Coach

“The girls were pretty sluggish against WWVA. We had a mediocre first half but stayed within 2 at half. The second half proved more of a struggle on both ends of the court. We weren’t up to playing back-to-back games with a short bench.”— Desirae Jones

“We played Columbia Burbank pretty tough for 3 quarters. We hit the wall in the fourth and let them pull away. Seney continues to lead her team with strong numbers. We are now 1-4 and host WWVA today at 4:30” — Desirae Jones
