Mark Kobelsky St. Mary’s Catholic School

The Junior Girls Basketball team showed tremendous growth this past season.

The season got off to a rocky start as the team failed to win a game in the pre-season tournament in December. The ladies demonstrated great resolve and a determination to improve.

St. Mary’s junior girls’ basketball team finished the season strong and a bronze medal fortheir efforts. Members of the winning team include: Jade Lappa, Sara Stuart, Tamara Fon, Keely Cannan, Brittney Barry, Kaela Almoite, Sage Lappa, Jessica Stuart, Caitlyn Quinton, and Madyson Nichol. Head Coach Mark Kobelsky and Assistant Coach Hailey Nichol.

The regular season started in January with the Saints defeating Fort Christian 45-37, followed by convincing victories against St. Andre Bessette and Lamont. The ladies finished the regular season tied for second place prior to the playoffs.

The playoffs got pushed back one week while the Grade 9’s participated in a field trip to Kananaskis. That meant the ladies had to play three games in three days in early March. The ladies hosted and defeated St. Andre Bessette by a score of 49-32 to advance to the semi-finals in Fultonvale. The ladies got off to a strong start as they up by a score of 15-10. Unfortunately, the Saints fell short to lose by 9.

However, as the team demonstrated all season, the Saints rebounded with a 20 point victory against Fort Christian to capture the EIPS bronze medal. Great job ladies and thank you parents for your support
