Our 8th grade basketball team had a great but hard game against Westridge. Not every game ends in a win. Sadly, all of our teams lost, but they played really hard, supported each other, and never stopped competing. They stayed positive and played until the last buzzer. Even though they did not win, we are proud of how they played.
