The Girls Varsity Basketball season is already starting which is exciting for both the new and the rerunning members. Each of these members are unique in their own aspect and some have opinions on practices, stretches, or the member’s personality within the team.
Some of the basketball members are excellent players as a forward or a guard, others excel in terms of music taste. Perhaps there’s also some seniors who want to continue playing basketball on a college level or go to the WNBA. The Eagles Cry interviewed Girls Varsity Basketball coach Mr. Fisher, and BHS senior Lauren Kelly.
