As we finally got to play at home and after a long Christmas break, our 7B Broncos came out with excitement and so much energy to get back to competing. We did not finish as well as normal around the basket, but our aggression for rebounds offensively gave us plenty of opportunities to hold our own to score 12 points. Defensively we came out just as aggressive holding SC Lee to 4 points. The team shared the love offensively as we had many scorers... Samiyah Lemus and Savannah Long each had 3 points, and Keira Dzenowski, Isabella Neels, and Jordyn Landry had 2. Defensively, Keira Dzenowski was a stand out last night. Very proud of all the girls!!!
