JH Girls Basketball Comes to an End
The Lady Griffins have completed their 2025 junior high school basketball season. This year there were eleven girls who suited-up on the team. Of these eleven gals, six of them were 8th Graders while five of them were 7th Graders. 8th Grader Lanie Newby served as a part-time student-manager.
On the year the A-Team won 6 games and lost 2. They were champions of their mid-season home tournament played in Odell, beating Meridian in the championship. They finished in 2nd Place in the end-of-year Falls City Sacred Heart tourney, losing to the Irish in the championship game. This year the B-Games mostly consisted of playing only a couple of quarters, as several teams had a smaller number of participants on their rosters. In addition, weather canceled two regular-season games – the road game at Pawnee City and the home game vs Freeman.
The Junior High team was again coached by John Mohr. He felt that the girls improved their skill-set and knowledge of the game as the season progressed. It will be fun to see these gals develop even more once they transition into playing high school basketball. A big “thank-you” goes out to all the parents and fans who supported the team throughout the season!
