Year 8 travelled to Kings High for the first game of the season with the squad consisting of Aiofe, Charlotte, Rosa, Phoebe H, Hannah, Eva, Sienna, Phoebe B and Scarlett. The girls started with excellent shooting and defensive pressure in the first quarter with the score being 3-2 to Kings High . Unfortunately in the following quarters Kings High increased their lead however I was really pleased with Southam for playing their own game with lots of great passing and dodging. The final score was 19-6 to Kings High.
Well done to Phoebe B for receiving ‘player’ from KHS and well done to all the girls. Proud of you all!
