play last week with a win against College Park. The girls jumped off to a great start, finishing the

first quarter with a 5 point lead. The Lady Cavaliers were unable to answer Melina Hursong’s

improve and adding consistence to our play, we are striving to continue our success this season

one game at a time.

The Lady Highlander JV Girls Basketball team continues to see the benefits of their hard

work through their success to start this season. The team went into Thanksgiving break with a

big win against Memorial, 51-34. District play started after the holiday. The girls dropped a close

game to Oak Ridge in the home opener, 36-40, but fought hard until the end. The Magnolia

tournament that weekend saw Magnolia West win the first game, 42-47. However, the girls came

back to win the next two games (58-31 against Davis, and 58-35 against Magnolia) to set up a

rematch against Magnolia West for third place in the tournament. This time, the team was

triumphant, winning the game 37-24 and earning a top 3 finish in both tournaments they played

this year. The girls picked up their first district win of the season as they battled College Park

and beat them for the second time at their place this year, 36-29. The girls had a battle against

Klein Cain. An early hole due to some great shooting by Klein Cain saw the Lady Highlanders

unable to get close until the fourth quarter. The fourth went back and forth until Klein Cain hit a

game-winning shot with 8 seconds left. A good luck at a winning shot bounced off the rim, but

the girls earned a moral victory despite the loss on the scoreboard. At this point in the season, the

JV team is 12-3 overall, with the 3 losses coming by a total of 10 points.

Lady Highlander Varsity Basketball picked up a district win this past Tuesday at Klein

Cain winning 53-43. Leading the way for the Lady Highlanders was Miima Mpagi with 19pts, 6

rebounds, and 6 steals. Also having a great night was Amelia Thedinger with 12 pts and Kate

Frank with 11pts. Leading the way in rebounding was Mary Frederick with 8 and Anna Luman
