The Jr Lady Pirates secured their third win of the season as they hit the net for a 49-24 win against the Lady Wolves. They now sit with a 3-1 record. “The girls are off to a very good start,” stated head coach, Andrew Tencleve. “They play incredibly hard and are competing hard. In order for us to take that next step, we have to do a better job of finishing around the rim and taking better care of the basketball.”

The Jr Lady Pirates will hit the court again on Thursday, December 3 when they host Shiloh Christian. “Shiloh will be a good test for us. They like to play fast and if we are going to have success against them, we will have to do a good job handling pressure and finish plays.”
