Last year, the girls’ basketball team suffered through a rough season, and now with the upcoming season the team is preparing to do better.

Junior Diane Bond said the team did not “play well together,” but she believes the Hornets have improved.

Bond, point guard and at times a shooting guard, said, “Our team only won two games last season and only one of them was a league game.”

To get ready for this season the girls practiced throughout the summer and fall.

The Hornets played in a summer league and attended a camp at Northwood University.

Because of all of the time the Hornets have spent playing together this summer, Bond hopes to have a better season.

“Our team has been practicing since the end of last season,” Bond said. “I expect to see a lot of improvement.”
