I was so proud of the girls today.  After dropping the first two games to a good Portage West team the girls played a phenominal 3rd game, moving their feet, playing scrappy and beating Portage.  Brianna Salome once again used her height and made a huge block, it was so exciting to see and Arreona Blakely was a beast on the court.  She was hustling after every ball and moving her feet, encouraging her teammates to do the same.  Great job girls!!!
