Girls 5^th Grade Basketball

The girl’s 5th grade basketball team wrapped up their schedule with a 2nd place finish in the St. Athanasius tournament. After cruising past the host, St. Athanasius, in the first round, the girls survived a nail-biter in the second round against Rochester Area. In that game the Cougars fell behind early but never gave up. Clutch free throws down the stretch gave St. James the lead with 18 seconds left to play in the game – it was the Cougar’s only lead of the game! The Cougars battled hard in the Championship game but St. Elizabeth came out with the victory. Individual awards were earned by Juliana Skowron who was named the Cougar MVP of the championship game, while Emma Cullo and Aesling McCullough were named to the All-Tournament team. The girls’ success in the tournament truly was a team effort as all of the girls played well and contributed during the tournament.
