Lots of emotions and not many words as our season was officially cancelled today ๐๐ฅบ so instead I will just reminisce on our last and most memorable win from last season ๐๐
Putting it all into perspective๐ฉตBasketball, like life, is a series of ups and downs. Success should never be measured through wins and losses, because it is about so much more. Grateful for this game that has given me the opportunities and brought incredible people into my life
Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day ๐ So thankful for what the sport has done for me, the opportunities it has always provided me and the relationships I have been able to form and maintain. โHereโs to strong womenโฆ May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.โ
What a week for Sparta! Sparta Girls Basketball Camp was a huge success with over 100 campers and a week of fun! Followed it up with the Championship in the Hopatcong Summer League with the team by going 13-0 to take it for the second straight year. Love the start of summer ๐๐ฉต
First conference win in four yearsโฆ so proud of this team for our fight! Down 12 in the second half and chipped away to seal this victory with two huge FTs with 11 seconds left!
