Jonathan Law’s girls basketball team is off to a great start this season with a current record of 6-2.

The girls all have a similar goal of staying positive and making it into the SCC and state tournaments.

“We hope to be a close-knit team that enjoys playing and getting better throughout the season,” head coach Mr. Young said.

The team has four senior captains who hope to advance far in the postseason in their last year on the court.

“My goal this season is to win a championship in my last year,” senior captain Fallon Andriolas said. “Our goal as team is to stay positive in hopes of making it very far in the postseason.”

The coaches have pulled up many girls from the junior varsity team to now play on varsity. This will give the team a better advantage with having more players.

“My goal is to have a banner in the gym for the first one in girls basketball,” junior Eryn Mower said

These new and old varsity players have high hopes for the team this season. With big rivalries such as Foran and Branford still left on the schedule, the girls say they will work their hardest this season.

The seniors on the team show a great example for the girls who will take their places next year.

“We have a lot of experience and senior leadership that will hopefully allow us to compete for our division title,” Young said.

The girls on the team are said to work very cohesively and they know each other’s skills which helps lead them to many wins.

“It’s a lot easier knowing how each of us work because we are fluent on the court and we all know how we play,” senior captain Pam Ellison said.

The girls and the coaches are expecting lots of improvement this year because of how hard the girls worked in the off season. The goals this season have become much larger than previous seasons.

“ My personal goal is to play better in defense than i did last year by working harder and being more aggressive,” senior captain Cali Jolley said.

The girls all have a similar goal of being a more aggressive team this season and it shows with how well they’ve been doing.

“Our main goal is to enjoy the experience and make it back to the SCC and state tournaments with an opportunity to make a run,” Young said.
