Freshman Korah Honig stated, “Districts were really fun. We fought so hard in every postseason game. Even though we fell a little bit short to Beaverton, we still left everything out on the court that night of the semi-finals. I can look back and not regret anything because we did everything the best we could, and I hope the seniors feel the same way. They all played so well this season, and I’ll be very sad to not be on the court with them next year.”

This marks the end of the seniors’ high school career, but they have made a lasting impact. They led the varsity team all year and won a conference title! Tara Goodell shared, “Throughout the week of districts, we had to up our playing level each day. The three teams we faced got harder each day. Even though we lost, we made it to the finals and had so much support from everyone, and that made that week so great.”
