Dribble it, pass it, we want, a basket! The lady Patriots basketball team has taken off to a great start. Girls’ basketball coach gives a few words of wisdom to the ladies, “the girls are working extremely hard. They will compete with teams this year and the wins will come.” “Second that” says Assistant Coach, Mr. Adkins.
     The Lexington tournament started on November 16th. On this night Peoria Heights played Lexington Minutemen. The game went overall, very well. By the end of the night the girls had thirty points under their belt. Although they played a great game and gave it their all, they didn’t win this one. Lexington jumped up to fifty-eight, leaving the game at 30-58.
     On November 17th our Lady Patriots played Roanoke-Benson Rockets. The ladies put up a tough fight the entire game. It was one of those games when they score; we score, and so on. By the end of the game our lady patriots lost by thirteen points leaving the game at 36-49.
     November 21st we played Garner South Wilmington. The girls brought home a 34-32 win on this day. This was an extremely close game for the girls. It felt like every time we scored they scored, but towards the end of the game we pulled a win! Congratulations on your first win ladies!
     On November 22, the girls played deer-creek mackinaw, also known as dee-mack. This was an outrageous game that the girls fought until the end for. Unfortunately, we didn’t win this one. The ending score of the game was 37-41.
     Congratulations to the Lady Patriots basketball team on their Lexington Tournament accomplishments. We hope to see more wins when the actual season starts! Good luck ladies!
