Niverville’s Junior Varsity Panthers girls basketball team has only played four games so far this season, but so far they boast an undefeated record.
“The JV girls team had lots of interested girls wanting to play,” says coach Nathan Dyck. “So many that we unfortunately had to make cuts.”
The team played Immanuel Christian on the morning of Saturday, January 21.
“During the game, one of our players made a great move and scored the basket,” says Dyck of a memorable moment. “Unfortunately, she had taken one too many steps. The ref called her for traveling. That’s when I said, ‘Lebron woulda had that.’ The ref smiled at my reference to how the NBA refs allow players from time to time to take extra steps.”
Although the call stood, the Panthers still won the match.
“The girls played with lots of intensity on defence and continued to work at better distributing the ball,” adds Dyck.
