The 8th-grade girls basketball team had a memorable season filled with growth, determination, and teamwork. Despite finishing with a record of 7-9, the team showcased resilience and character throughout the season. One of the highlights of the season was a thrilling victory over Tell City, clinching the win by just one point. Additionally, the team secured significant conference wins against Crawford County, Mitchell, and Springs Valley, demonstrating their competitive spirit and ability to rise to the occasion when it mattered most. Under the guidance of their coach Deidra Harpenau, the girls showed remarkable progress. Dickerson remarked, “I had the pleasure of coaching these girls two years in a row and it was so fun to see the growth when comparing this year to last year. Our numbers may have been small, but these girls made up for that with their competitiveness, dedication, and drive.” Throughout the season, the girls exhibited an increase in confidence, as well as implementing new skills and strategies with each game. Their growing court awareness and ability to adapt both offensively and defensively were evident signs of their development and maturity as players. One of the most significant strides made by the team was their understanding of individual roles and how they contribute to the team's success. By embracing their roles and working together cohesively, the girls capitalized on their strengths to elevate the team's performance. As they reflect on their accomplishments, the girls can take pride in their progress and look forward to building on their successes in the future as they join the high school team.

The girls varsity basketball team embarked on a journey of growth this season, leaving a mark on the court with their relentless effort and unwavering commitment to success. From the outset, they showed promise, but it was their evolution throughout the season that truly stood out. In the early stages of the season, the team faced challenges in finding their identity; however, as the season progressed, they honed their skills and began to play cohesively within their offensive and defensive schemes. Through practice and a collective commitment to improvement, they started to believe in themselves and their abilities. Key to their success was the team's dedication to preparation. They immersed themselves in film study, analyzed scouting reports, and diligently executed game plans. This meticulous approach not only bolstered their confidence but also positioned them for success on the court. Throughout the season, there were moments that showcased the team's potential. A pivotal conference win over Mitchell early in the season hinted at their competitive spirit and determination. As the season unfolded, their cohesion became increasingly apparent, culminating in impressive performances against stellar opponents like Heritage Hills and Northeast Dubois. Although their journey ended in a close defeat in Sectional 48, the team's resilience and growth were undeniable. Under the guidance of their coaches, they set a standard of excellence for underclassmen to aspire to, leaving behind a legacy of perseverance and teamwork. Reflecting on the season, first year coach Sean Schaefer expressed immense pride in the team's accomplishments, highlighting their remarkable growth and dedication to success. “Our team experienced a tremendous amount of growth this season! From the beginning they showed relentless effort and determination to succeed. Over the course of the season, our girls learned how to play together within our system. The team understood what we were trying to accomplish and did the little things that great teams do. I am incredibly proud of their efforts and excited about the standard they established for future classes!”
