The girls’ basketball team had a busy break finishing up the Allen Hoopfest then moving on to play one game in the Nike Thanksgiving Hoopfest and in the Feast Showcase.
In the Allen Hoopfest the Redhawks did not place, frustrating sophomore Lilian Johnson.
“I was disappointed in the results of the tournament,” she said. “We aren’t playing to our full potential yet. I learned that the little things matter and could determine the result of [a] game.”
In the Nike showcase, the Redhawks played second nationally ranked Etiwanda high school from California. Even though the team lost 55-45, senior Judy Aluga still thought the game was a special opportunity.
“Playing Etiwanda was a pretty unique experience,” Aluga said. “It was neat to see how they go about playing the game. I think it definitely benefits us by showing us how we compare to other nationally ranked teams.”
In the Feast Showcase, the Redhawks finished with another loss, losing 53-49 against La Vega high school.
