Girls JV Basketball
Despite a rough sea-
son, the key to the Girls JV
Basketball team maintaining
enthusiasm throughout the
season was their ability to be
“persistent”.
“The biggest dif-
ficulties happen with
our physical strength
because we only have
five players and we could
play exactly five players
on the court. None of us
were actually able to rest
or have a break during
the game,” said Taeeun
Uhm.
According to Sarah
Wilson, sophomore, most of
the girls were new to play-
ing basketball,
herself included,
“We were all kind
of struggling to
figure out how to
play the sport.”
Despite going through
difficulties, being constructive
and encouraging others helped
the team stay persistent.
Alice Park said when the
team lost a game they would
cheer each other up and say,
“It’s okay we’re going to do it
[win] next time because there
is always going to be a next
game. Just because we lost this
game doesn’t mean we’re go-
ing to lose the next. Although
we lost, just push forward and
learn from it.”
Sarah added, “we would
encourage each other by saying
‘hey good job’ or ‘don’t worry
about it, good try’.” She con-
tinued, “having fun while
playing was one of the
main things that kept us
pushing forward.”
Taeeun described the
season as “team-like”, imply-
ing the difficulties the girls
faced bonded them even
more tightly, and being able
to bond tighter enabled the
team to be able to perse-
vere.
As the starting whistle blows, Sarah Wilson
leaps into the air, swiping the basketball away
from the opposing KIS team’s grasps. Sarah
built on her knowledge of basketball skills
from practices to play even better.
