The JV Eagles wrapped up their Conference season on Tuesday night in the best possible way. Right out of the gates Karson VanDenend was a bucket. She managed to notch a double double in just 16 minutes, scoring 10 points in the first half and adding 10 rebounds, it was electric. However, the Pioneers managed to stay neck and neck throughout the whole game, so much so that the last minute of the game dragged on for ages with multiple timeouts and three lead changes.
The Eagles called a timeout with the ball in our hands, down 1 needing to go full court in 10 seconds. Lexi Willis in-bounded into the corner to Maya Merritt after a great screen from Lily Batts. Merritt moved the ball up to Keira Dawes at half court and Nenfot Darshak went running, catching the ball in transition and scored with 1 second to play. The crowd went wild, it was the PERFECT end to the conference season. We are so proud of the teamwork and the resilience the girls showed, it all paid off!
