Girls Junior Varsity
The JV girls for the Canyon Hills basketball team are 2-3 and have an upcoming tournament soon December 18th through the 23rd. Captain Laila White, a Sophomore on the team, shares her experience and thoughts for this season.
“I think I’m doing better than last year, I’ve made a little more shots than last year and my dribbling has gotten better, but as for the team I feel like we have a lot of talent on our team, but a lot of people are new so it’s like we had to start over again because a lot of people from last year went on varsity.”
October Curren, a freshman new to Basketball earned player of the game against Torrey Pines on December 7th. She’s shared her thoughts about the team and if they’ll continue to win more games
“I think so, the girls are very athletic, we just gotta get it together as a group.”
