Overall, the Georgetown Holiday tournament was really fun for our 7B girls playing against different levels of teams. We were challenged both physically and mentally throughout the weekend and rose up on many occasions to execute in critical times. Amongst the 3 games we played we showed much growth skill, teamwork, and resilience. We beat Benold 16-2, lost to Austin Hill Country 29-7, and came out with a well-earned win against Tippett to secure 3rd place in the tournament 17-11. Their exceptional performance, positive attitude, and ability to learn from both victories and setbacks make them a source of pride for their school and community. This experience will undoubtedly serve as a foundation for their future successes on the basketball court and beyond! Our top offensive players include Savannah Long, Sophia Rotramel, and Jordynn Landry. Our top defensive players include Taytum Hobson, Jadyn Martin, and Keira Dzenowski. Great job Bronco 7B!
