The Jonathan Law girls basketball team recently finished its 2022-223 winter season.
The girls team had a new coach this season, Kevin Wielk. The captains were senior Sabrina Lawless and senior Nicolina Salanto.
After qualifying for states last season, Law was faced with a difficult schedule this year. While they didn’t win a game this season, they competed hard in each game and made significant progress as the year went on.
“The season didn’t go quite how we would have liked it too unfortunately,” Lawless said. “We knew we were going to have a very tough schedule from what we earned last year, and having a completely new coaching staff, but we tried to make the best of it as we could.”
The team fought through the season with team bonding activities. With lots of new players to welcome, they created strong friendships on the court and off of the court.
“For team bonding, we had a very small team this year which worked well with the relationships we had,” Salanto said. “Everyone on the team suited up for the varsity games and we all practiced together. Out of my four years, it was the closest our team has been.”
Girls basketball made noticeable improvements as the season went on. Getting used to new coaching and new members of the team it took some time, but paid off as the season continued.
“As the season progressed we definitely improved,” Lawless said. “We ran through our plays much more smoothly and we were fighting harder on defense.”
Although the season didn’t go as planned, the girls team was able to finish with amazing bonds and memories that they will carry with them.
