The first night of the Grace Academy Holiday Tournament the Warriors were set to play St. Maria Goretti High School. Goretti is known as a basketball powerhouse and is always a tough competition for the Warriors. That night was no different.
Goretti had speed, height, aggression, and a bench. The Warriors clearly did not match up! In the first few minutes the Warriors took a 3 - 2 lead, stuck with Goretti, and threw them for a loop with tough defense. After a few more minutes however, Goretti pulled ahead and kept the lead until the end.
Goretti may have won as far as points go, but by the end of the game the Lady Warriors had stolen the hearts of the entire gym. Even fans from Goretti were cheering for our girls! Following the game the players and coaches from Goretti pulled Coach Matthews aside and told him that the way our girls played is how all teams should play; they loved our Christ-like attitude and were amazed at how well we carried ourselves on the court. What a testimony to what the Warriors strive for!
