- Congratulations to the Girls Vasity Basketball Team, 2008 D-IV
State Champions!
We
had a wonderful season! We ended the regular season 18-2. Our only
two loses came against two D-III schools, Enosburg (The D-III champions!)
and Green Mountain Union. We beat West Rutland in the Quarterfinal
game, Williamstown in the semifinal game and Danville in the championship
game, 51-50! (Danville beat us last year in the
championship game so we were excited to meet them in the finals
for a
rematch)!
This
years game was a close one. It went back and fourth the whole game.
We were up by 1 point at the end of the first, down by 2 at the
half, down by 2 at the end of the third and up by one at the end
of the game! The last 18.2 seconds in the game was the most exciting
for us: Nealsa stole the ball in the backcourt, we called a timeout,
at that point we were down by 1point, we came up with a quick plan
and tried to convey it to the players over the loud cheering of
both crowds, we threw the ball in and with the most composure that
we have seen all season, we passed the ball 5 times, running the
clock down, looking for a high percentage shot in the block from
Camille and if that didn't work, back to Vanessa or Betsy for a
lay up! They did it like we had practiced it a 1000 times!!! Danville
had 6 seconds to inbounds the ball, get it down the full length
of the court for a shot, their coach called a timeout with .5 seconds
on the clock, they in bounded the ball against our defense and tried
to get a shot off with .5 seconds.
Camille
duPont and Vanessa Powers were chosen as McDonalds All-Americans

most exciting for us: Nealsa stole the ball in the backcourt, we
called a timeout, at that point we were
down by 1point, we came up with a quick plan and tried to convey
