Grade 7 Girls Basketball Champs




Jill's Grade 7 Girls Basketball Season has come to a successful end. The Cardston Cougars are the Division Champs!



There are 7 schools in our school division (district). Four of those schools have 100 kids or less in grades K-9 or K-12. To get a basketball team they gather up most of the girls in the grade and even some from the younger grades. They try hard.

There is one team that beat us once this season by 3 points - Raymond, and we had to play against them in the championship game. It was intense and exciting.

1st Quarter - Cardston up by 5 points
2nd Quarter - Raymond up by 5 points
3rd Quarter - Cardston down by 8 or 9 points
4th Quarter - all of the Raymond starters fouled out

Cardston ended up winning the game 51 - 47. A few people commented that they have never seen Austin, who coaches Jill's team, quite so intense. Jill played well but had to sit out quite a bit because she had 3 fouls in the first half. She ended up with 17 points. Go Jill!

Good job girls!



In honor of their gym class (thanks Miss Burt) where they are learning line dancing....





Hanna, Savannah and Ashley - the great little sister cheerleaders!
