From The Coach: JV Girls Basketball Off To A Strong Start!
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolOur JV Girls Basketball team is off to a strong start this year. The girls are working very hard in practice and are seeing that translate into success on game day. We should all be very proud of them and how they represent Saint James School with their teamwork, dedication and school pride. They are committed to supporting their basketball sisters and building a sense of a basketball family.
I am hopeful for a strong turn out next year in our 4th – 6th grades. We have quite a few 6th grade girls on the JV team who will move up next year. It has been an absolute pleasure working with all the girls this year. We are half way through the basketball season and up to this point they have learned the basics of the game and how to be good teammates, sportsmanship and I am proud of each and every one of them.
– Coach Jaime
