The girls varsity basketball team had a challenging season this year with a record of 6-17, but down the final stretch of the season they had some huge wins that surely made it memorable. The team had two wins in conference against Springs Valley and a double overtime win at Orleans, where Katie Lynch made a buzzer-beating deep three that set the tone going into the second half. In fact, this double overtime win had the players so hyped up that they soaked Coach Elliott in water in celebration. Two other wins worth noting were against South Spencer and beating Tell City on Senior Night. The team showed improvement from the start to the end of the season. They started playing better basketball towards the end of the season and stayed healthy, and one of the biggest team improvements was taking care of the ball. Maggie Cunningham led the team in points per game and rebounds this year. Coach Elliott had positive things to say about the team, remarking, “They are a great group of young ladies who will do great things in life.” Overall, the season was memorable for the team. Despite the record, the team showed resilience and positive attitudes throughout the season, and we have high hopes for their future success.

The JV boys basketball team had a record of 11-11 this season, with some significant wins against South Spencer and Dubois; they also beat county rival Tell City twice. The team awards for the season went to Joe Mogan for most improved, Tyler Kleaving for mental attitude, and Wick Craney for the most efficient player. The coach had a very memorable quote from the season, "Don't let your highs be too high and your lows be too low." This quote helped motivate the team to stay focused and calm, and to always remember that no matter the outcome of a game, you must move forward. The team demonstrated significant growth from the start to the end of the season in every level of the game. Despite facing adversity in games and practices, the team always came together and fought through it. They learned how to play as one and not care who got the credit. One of the biggest team improvements was the growth of each player, as they learned to play as a team and not focus on individual achievements. Coach Hawkins also mentioned Tyler Kleaving's act of sportsmanship and determination, where he would play JV, then go play for the band before the varsity game, and then fill water bottles for the varsity game. There was a funny moment during the season involving the “Noah Hawkins jump stop” and it will be something all the players can look back on and have a good laugh. Overall, the team's never-die attitude, grit, and toughness will make this group memorable. The team worked hard and faced adversity with a positive attitude.
