The girls varsity basketball team has had a dominating season so far and have high hopes for the playoffs. Having only lost four games this entire season, it is hard not to know about these successful Sequoits. Taking charge and controlling the conference, the girls are currently first and plan to keep it that way the rest of the season.

The lady Sequoits had an extremely successful season last year, but ended up falling just short of state last year after losing to Montini in super sectionals. The girls are eager to give it another shot this year by making a run toward the playoffs in hopes to surpass last year’s accomplishments. The team’s goal: making it to the final four at state this year.

“Our plan is to win conference, regionals, sectionals, super sectionals and then make it to state,” said senior shooting guard Alexis Duehr.

With the way the ladies are playing this year, there is no reason they can’t achieve their goals of making it to state. The girls are a successful team and all, but the girls aren’t just great by chance.

“I think what makes our team so good is our chemistry with each other and we are also a very experienced team compared to others,” Duehr said. “We set goals for ourselves before every game and work hard to make sure we reach them.”

With every player on the team contributing to every win, the team brings teamwork to a whole another level.

“What truly makes us so good is how well we work with each other on the court,” sophomore power forward Julia Murillo said. “We work hard, play hard and communicate so well on the during games. And communication is a big key to our success as a team this season.”

The girls are close on and off the court. Spending most of their time with each other, they have become a close team, which contributes to their compatibility on the court as well.

“These girls are my second family,” said junior point guard Ashley Reiser.

The girls have many qualities that make them a dominant team that are sure to be a threat down the road this season. Be sure to keep track on the girls varsity basketball team as they try to pave way through the playoffs again soon, using their hard work, teamwork and passion for the game to lead them to their ultimate goal: state.
