Tonight, the JV Girls played their first home game of the season against York, and while it's early in the season, we're already seeing moments of growth and potential. As expected, offense and defense are still finding their rhythm, and perfection is not something expected this early.The Bombers faced challenges with turnovers, primarily due to some errant passing. However, there were also bright spots where ball movement was very good, leading to good looks from the outside and strong opportunities for layups inside. These moments highlight the team's potential as they continue to build on their fundamentals.At halftime the differential was just three points. In the second half the girls stepped up and scored 11 points in the 4th, while holding York to only 5. The defensive effort was a testament to the willingness to work hard and showed determination. Sawyer had an impressive fourth quarter, contributing 7 points, while Marley added 4 to seal the victory. Another positive was the strong effort by Alayna in the closing minutes, where she provided some much needed on ball full court pressure on Yorks primary ball handler.Alayna 2pts., Alina 2pts., Emily 1pt., Marlee 8pts., Sawyer 14pts., Grace 6pts.As we prepare for our next game on December 13th against Pal-Mac, we'll be focusing on improving our passing, minimizing turnovers, and strengthening our rebounding. These areas will be key to the team's continued success and growth.Great effort tonight, and let's keep building on this performance!Coach Willix

The JV Bombers traveled on Wednesday night to Mynderse to face the Blue Devils. Despite a brief travel delay and some confusion entering the facility, the team was eager to get started.Since our last outing, practice focused on five key areas: better passing, ball control, minimizing jump-ball tie-ups, rebounding, and feeding the posts. These efforts paid off, as turnovers were reduced by more than 50%, and well-placed passes in the paint led to several well-earned points. The Blue Devils led 10-8 at the end of the first quarter, but strong defensive takeaways late in the second quarter gave the Bombers a narrow 16-15 lead at halftime.
