Frederick Christian Academy (VG)

The Warrior ladies kicked off their basketball season against the Frederick Christian Academy Defenders right before Thanksgiving. Many of the girls were nervous but very excited for their first game. For some it was the start of yet another season of varsity ball; for other, it was their first varsity basketball game ever.

Throughout the first quarter the ladies hung tight, sometimes just a basket away from being tied with the Defenders. At half, the ladies were still just a couple of baskets away from being tied, and just beginning to get their rhythm. However, during the 3rd quarter they slacked off, allowing the Defenders to creep ahead. During the fourth quarter, the Warriors went to a man defense, versus the zone and box-in-one they were playing before. The switch resulted in many steals and completely shut down the Defenders' offense. However the ended the game on bottom with the score 32- 21. The ladies gave it their best, pounding the ball inside and the guards working well with each other, looking for the open man.

Many of the players contributed to the score. They also out-rebounded the Defenders. Key steals, blocks, and assists were pitched in by the girls as well. The Warriors never gave up and showed Godly character on the court.
