After the end of the regular season, the Varsity girls basketball team was seeded second in Districts; they were held on Wednesday, Feb. 25 at Parkway North against Pattonville. According to head coach Dawn Hahn, the varsity girls were ready for the competition.

“I would say at this point in the season, we are ready to step up to the challenge,” Hahn said, “The only way to extend the season is to win.”
The season as a whole was successful this year for varsity girls’ basketball. They stood at record of 12-13 and 4-2 in their conference, which guaranteed them a share for second place with Francis Howell Central. In the seven years Hahn has coached this will be the best finish the team has had. Sophomore Brooke Oostendorp, also thought the team was ready for districts.
“I think we’ve improved a lot over the season,” Oostendorp said. “We had a big win against Howell, so we had a lot of confidence going into districts,”
Unfortunately, confidence wasn’t enough. The girls lost 48 to 50 against Pattonville in the first round, but Hahn believes that the team had a successful season even with the loss at districts. She says that one of the best things about it was the fact that there was somebody different every game who surprised her with their performance. Hahn also enjoys the bond she has with her athletes.
“Our team chemistry got a lot better [at the end of the season],” junior Dianna Prost said. “We just have to take our losses from this year, learn from them, and help make us better.”
