FIGHTINGTHROUGHNUMBERS BY CALEB ROBINSON Junkies Sports Reporter
The Ladies Var sity Basketball Team , this com ing season, has been str uggling to have enough player s for a team to begin conditioning. After inter view ing Em m a Dow ning, of the Lady Eagles, I found that the gir ls had been str uggling to find enough people to even play in the gam e but ?we finally ended up with seven girls, enough to play with, although it?s gonna be hard.? Ever since finding enough gir ls to star t playing they have been doing ?lots and lots of running, a couple with several injuries and some committing to cheerleading as well ? [but] I believe that if we put in the work and have strong determination, we can be successful? ? The gir ls w ill be continuing to pr actice and pr epar e for the season and w ould r eally w elcom e any ladies w ho ar e still w illing to play. Please continue to pr ay and encour age them as the season goes on.
I think this tells ever y single per son ar ound the w or ld to keep their fam ilies close, and to pr ay to God for pr otection against anyone w ho tr espasses against us.

This w eek for student connect, w e asked a quite contr over sial question: I f you cou l d ch an ge on e t h i n g abou t GCA, w h at w ou l d i t be? ?I think we should have a football team.
