Despite the final loss, the team enjoyed an amazing season with outstanding efforts by Ariah Mack and Mikaela Malave as consistently high scorers for the Huskies.

Some of the girls returning this year from the past Huskies 7th grade championship team included Kayla Moniz,  Daniella Lyng and Sammi Roney, and their experience was evident in how they got in their groove on the floor.

The team also featured newcomers such as Roxy Platt, who showed some real growth in skills for their first year.  Lauren Caldwell, another rookie, proved to be a formidable wall of defense against any opponent.
