Girls basketball starts January 23, and they are excited to get their basketball season started. Girls basketball is important to the girls and head coach of eighth grade Mike Phillips. There has been open gym already for the girls and I am sure Coach Phillips has his eye on a couple of girls. About 14 girls will make each team for the seventh and eighth graders this year. Last year the eighth graders went 4-8, but had many close games. The seventh graders went 9-3 with one game against Grand Haven White Pines going into double over time and ending up winning. Every girl isn’t going to make the team so don't give up try harder next year. “I like basketball because it has become something that's become natural to me,” seventh grader Madelyn Spaniola said.
