The Jericho girls varsity basketball team lit up the court game after game. With 4 seniors, 1 junior, and 7 sophomores, this year’s team was energetic and determined.
Coach D’Antonio feels that the team has a bright future due to its young players. She said, “The girls are having a really great start on conference play and there is a lot of young talent on this team, especially with the amount of sophomores we have which will make the team thrive for years to come.”
The girls varsity basketball players line up for a successful free throw by Sadie Krangle.
Co-captain and senior Rayna Goodkin believes the team’s youth is their strength. She said, “With a mere four seniors on the team along with one junior, the team itself will be losing its official captains but the rest of the team that is all sophomores has so much potential and have proven themselves since day one.”
It is clear the team has a bright future ahead of them. Sophomore Sadie Krangle, who is the team’s highest scorer, said, “The team is working hard and has been improving from game to game. We are getting to know each other more and more as the season goes on and the team has great chemistry.”
Still, the seniors hold great value in the team and their presence will be missed. Sadie added, “We are graduating a number of seniors and we all are sad to see them leave.”
Co-captain and senior Ava Albicocco said, “I think the team has a very good dynamic this year and we all play well together. Everyone on the team supports each other and we have a lot of fun in practice and games. I am sad to see my final season coming to an end.”
