Over the weekend our 8th grade girls basketball teams both placed 3rd in the District basketball tournament.  Though our B team won by forfeit, they grew so much this season and have much to celebrate.  Our A team showed up to play against Euclid!  It was a battle the entire game and our Pumas came out on top winning an exciting game by one point.  Kendall Helm scored 10 points in the second half and had 8 steals.  Sylvie Petersen played tough defense and added 8 points.  Grace Farley never ran out of energy as she caused a lot of trouble for the Falcons.  Every single girl contributed to this victory and we are all so proud of you!  Well done Pumas!
