To get ready up for their season opener this week, the varsity girls’ basketball team traveled to Connecticut over Thanksgiving break to watch the legendary UConn women's basketball team practice.
"It was a thrill for us all to have the privilege to watch the UConn women's team practice. It is evident by their hard work, level of intensity and focus that they are one of the most talented team's in the history of women's basketball," said coach Sherry Levin. Also travelling with the group was Clinton Lassiter, who recently joined Beaver’s middle school faculty as a math teacher and coaches the middle school boys’ A team.
The girls played their first game of the season at home this past Wednesday at 4:30 versus Berwick Academy. The gymnasium was packed with students and fans alike, which made for a festive atmosphere. The girls got off to a quick start and never looked back. Led by Senior Emily Belowich the girls managed a 30 point victory over the Bulldogs from southern Maine. "It was a total team effort with a solid defensive showing" said Head Coach Sherry Levin. The team looks to continue their winning ways on the road against Concord Academy this Friday afternoon.
