Jumping for the ball, senior Emily Feiman attempts to gain control of the ball at the start of the game against the Douglas County High School Huskies Jan. 16. The student section was led by the JV cheer team. "We try not to worry about the amount of people who come to our games," varsity shooting guard and captain Sarah Davis '24 said. "It’s hard not always receiving the recognition we work for. I definitely think there needs to be change, I never really understood the stigma against women’s sports. Our program sees other schools supporting their girl teams and it’s hard. 80% of our student body doesn’t know we are a fifth ranked team."

The sounds of squeaking sneakers running across the gym floor, balls bouncing and hitting the backboard, and students cheering fill up the gym’s space. 

The girls varsity basketball team took on the Douglas County High School (DCHS) Huskies at 5:30 p.m. in the gym Jan. 16.

During the first half of the game, the team dominated the Huskies, going into halftime leading by 27 points with a score of 35-8.
