The West Central Area girls’ basketball team celebrated a season that finished 18-6 and 10-2 in conference play, by holding their awards banquet recently. “It was a very competitive schedule and fun experience as a coach and fan of basketball,” commented Head Coach Eric Schoenbauer.

“The Knights accomplished being one of the scariest teams in the section and conference to play,” noted Coach Schoenbauer. “Not all goals were accomplished during the season, but one very important goal did get achieved and it was to get better every single day. The improvement came in forms as people, as players, and as teammates and that was the best part of coaching!” 

The lady Knights were awarded the Gold Level for Academic All-State Team and four seniors made the Academic All-State Team.  They are Elizabeth Rustan, Halle Grosz, Halle Foslien and Lexi Bright.
