With a pair of wins against Nashoba Brooks and Carroll this week, the girls’ JV basketball team improved to 6-0 on the season. As if an unbeaten record wasn’t enough, the Blue & Gold has never trailed in a game and is beating opponents by an average margin of 15 points per game. Head coach Maggie Small has her squad popping at both ends of the court with aggressive team defense and a balanced offensive attack. Players rotate in and out of the lineup on a consistent basis and share the success on the floor. In the first game of the week against Nashoba Brooks, guards Laurice Bandar (10 points) and Jovana Zivanovic (3 steals) led the way for the visitors. Yesterday against Carroll, it was the forwards’ turn as Yara Ibrahim (4 steals), Clem Cradick (8 rebounds), and Liv Dawson (6 points) stole the show for the home team. The girls’ will look to keep things rolling downhill next week in an away game at Solomon Schechter.
