 Winter sports have been underway for a few weeks now and girls basketball is making a strong start to their season. The BAL and District champion team has been full of strong, upperclassmen athletes in past seasons. But this year it is a different story. The starting line-up consists of three upperclassman, including captain Sarah Wilson. Sarah Wilson has been playing basketball for 12 years and has committed to play basketball at Nyack University in New York on a full scholarship. She has spent countless hours practicing with her siblings, her school and club team, and on her own. She is a dedicated player to the team and will surely go far in her college career.
  The rest of the team cherishes from her skills along with help from other starters, Zoe Palau and captain Jordyn Sherman. Who have been playing together since 2nd grade and create a strong dynamic on the court. With a smaller upperclassmen line-up they look to the underclassman including Sydney Ives, Jay Covino, Rachel Saxton 
 Unfortunately, due to construction in the high school gym, the girls and boys teams this year will be unable to have home games in the high school. The girls will play three “home” games located in the UES gym this season.
  So far the girls have 3-2 record, with losses to Suburban One school Council Rock North and Stuart County Day School in New Jersey. On Thursday Dec. 14 the girls wiped the floor with a 50-19 victory against Bristol. The girl’s next game will be held in the UES gym on Thursday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. against Morrisville high school.
