The Lady Gladiators hosted the Lady Wildcats Monday night in a scheduled game. Whitney brought their “A” game and played hard against Italy. It all showed on the court with wins in the 7th grade (36-10) and 8th grade (44-12).

Coach Jennifer Reeves is still proud of the girls and explained how they are doing, “The girls are practicing everyday and working to achieve the level of play we need to have in order to achieve at the next level of play. We are improving everyday as a team and the girls have gained a lot of skills they have not been taught yet. We need to step up a little in order for us to compete with some of the tougher teams like Whitney.”
