COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We had a great week of basketball last week in Charleston, SC. The weather was beautiful and we played against solid competition. The first team was Providence Day out of Charlotte, NC. They’re a private charter school and have won 17 state titles. The first half we battled well then the second half they exposed our weaknesses. We learned from this game and was able to regroup the next two games.”
“… It was a great week and our girls improved and made great memories. We were able to travel with the Boys team and support each other all week. It was a great week of basketball for the Bulldogs.”
