The Lady Falcons ended their season with an 11-10
overall record. The ladies also qualified for the CIAC State Tournament.
Senior Rebeca VanGuilder ended her basketball career
with over 1,000 career points including a career high of 31 points
this year. Rebeca has been selected to the 1st Team All –CSC
East Team. Her coaches wish her future success as she plans to
continue her basketball career in college.
Our other seniors,
Milagros Lopez, Brittany Smith and Diamond Cooper have made remarkable
strides of improvement throughout the season. Nancy Melendez,
junior, is an All-CSC East Honorable Selection. Nancy’s
defense and hustle came through in the close games. Khamari Grant,
sophomore, made tremendous improvements in the off season. Khamari
improved from averaging 4.6 points a game last season to averaging
13.8 points this season, including her career high of 28 points
this year. Khamari was selected to the 2nd Team All-CSC-East.
The future is very bright for our freshmen class. Our infamous
twins Jenny and Natalie Nawokowski came in this season as two
of our team leaders. Jenny’s 3 pointers has greatly improved
this season along with Natalie’s ball handling skills.
The team looks forward to their improvement next season.
All
freshmen played in varsity games, including Destinee Jackson,
who started all 21 games including a career high of 20 points.
Dayshanae Brown, also a freshmen, came in and contributed to
the team right away. Dayshanae started in 14 of the 21 games
and lockdown more opponents than Masters Locks. Santina Williams
proved that she is quicker than a hiccup and was given the name “turbo” by
her teammates. We also look forward to improvements of Janae
Womack and Vanessa Hernandez because of the dedication and work
ethic.
The team was very young this year, but we plan on building
toward the success and intensity that our team has always been
known for. |
