“We had moments, there were times we played very aggressively but also had a few times where we had lapses and let up a bit. But the girls hung in there and never gave up. I was very pleased with the game.” JV Coach, Mary Hammann said.

 According to the girls, they are happy about the win, but ready for the challenge that GAC’s will bring to them.

“I am excited for GAC’s, I am a little nervous but I’m ready for the challenge that the game will bring to us,” #1, Rachel Elder said.

The GAC’s will be a tournament style game at Francis Howell North. The knights will go up against 3 separate schools, Fort Zumwalt West, Francis Howell Central, and Timberland. The games will last majority of the game, and the first game will be at 9:15. Hammann is expecting the girls to do their best.

“ We are going to have play at the top of our game, the girls are going to have to bring their A game in order to make a good showing, there are some very good teams in the GAC’s this year,” Hammann said.

Winning the last game and having GAC’s really set the season for the girls.
