FRESHMAN BASKETBALL
FRESHMEN GIRLS COMPLETE AMAZING SEASON - The freshmen girls basketball team wrapped up an exceptional season Monday night with a hard-fought 42-33 away win against Seton (Manassas) JV team. This victory was the 16th win of the season for the girls with only four losses, two each to conference rivals O'Connell and Good Counsel. The second loss to Good Counsel was a heart breaking 1 pointer that in the words of Coach Tony Conques "was ours to win at the end, but we missed so many opportunities throughout the game that last second heroics shouldn't have been needed". This team's record is the second best of Coach Conques' 11 year career as the freshmen coach. "This was a truly great group of kids - talent and attitude - no complaints at all. They worked hard every day and the results are there!"
The team was led by strong guard play from Kelly Taplin, Emma Brehany, Catey Susco, Marissa Probst, and Isabelle Murakami and inside strength from Nikki Toole, Jordan Kijewski, Teresa Neves, Ali Muskett, Bae Lee Harman, and Capri Cunniff. The strength of the team was in its' depth. "It is great when you get contributions from everyone on the team each game". Assisting Coach Conques with this year's team was Leanne Conques (her 5th season) and Julie Jones. "Having Leanne to work with makes this that much more special and she is terrific with the kids on all three teams."
In summary - 3 wins over Ireton; 2 wins each over Flint Hill, Georgetown Visitation, Stone Ridge, Forest Park, and John Paul the Great JV; and single wins over Westfield, Woodbridge, and Seton (Manassas). Now that is good work!!
