Shooting the ball in the air, senior guard Jayden Kozney sinks the ball in the hoop. Offensively, Kozney led the way in scoring and finding open shots to take to help lead the team to victory. “I try to get in a rhythm early because it makes sure I stay that way throughout the whole game,” Kozney said. “My teammates also come into play for the success I had throughout that game because they gave me open looks that gave me opportunities to be aggressive.”

Senior Neleigh Gessert dropped 27 points in the season opener against Millard North. Neleigh Gessert also led the team with seven rebounds and had three steals behind her sister who had four. “It was a good team win with everyone doing what was drawn up in our game plan”, Neleigh Gessert said. ”We definitely had moments of struggle on the offensive side of the ball, but that was mainly because it was the first game of the season for us. We were able to get hot at the right time and played great defense the whole night.” Photo by Lilly Stoops

Carson would finish 14 points on the night, including the huge three to tie the game. “We just have to play to our strengths sometimes,” Carson said. “When we did, we scored and took the lead. Once we did too much and tried to get too fancy, we started to struggle.”
