This season has been going well for the Lady Eagles basketball team. Our Lady Eagles have been soaring through district, almost at the end! As of right now the girls are sitting at 4th place in district, and are hoping to maintain this spot for the rest of the season in order to make it to the playoffs! This past week the ladies played Devine at home which sat them in 4th place. Right now the season is coming close to the end with only a couple games remaining which determine if these ladies can withhold their spot!
Since we have not had many interviews this season for the Lady Eagles, we have decided to interview the one and only Fin Dog! Finley Hilburn is a senior and the captain of the Basketball team. We asked Finley a few questions and here are some responses… The first question we asked is: “What is it like being a team captain?” Finley said “Ever since I was little I wanted to be a captain one day because I thought it would be the coolest thing ever. I can safely say after getting the privilege of being theme captain for our team is one of the greatest things I have ever gotten to do.” This quote shows the love that Finley has had for basketball and the will to be a team captain ever since she was a little girl. The team loves her being a captain and all agree that she brings so much positivity to the team. Having a teammate and a leader like Finley has helped the team excel so much. She also discusses her love for basketball and how she has been playing ever since she was a little girl. She states “I have always loved basketball and it is all because of my dad. We would always watch games together and talk about the players.” Finely is so dedicated to the sport and this stems from the love for the sport and bond she built with her dad making her the amazing player she is today.
Overall the ladies are so blessed to have a captain as great as Finley and that they have done so well this season so far! With these last few games our Lady Eagles need all of the support they can get in order to withhold their spot in district to advance to the next round.
