After Creekview’s rise to AAAA this year, prospects of a winning season were questionable given their mediocre season last year with eighteen wins and twelve losses. But so far the Lady Grizzlies have gone above and beyond all expectations with an outstanding thirteen wins accompanied by a measly three losses.“I’m kind of surprised,” said Nolan. “The girls worked hard this summer and we had a core of seven or eight players coming back from last year, so I knew we were going to be pretty good. How good we will be eventually remains to be seen, but we are off to a good start.”
With Sequoyah the team’s biggest county threat, and Central Forsyth , Creekview’s region rival. It is obvious that still many more wins are needed to secure the team in a spot for the state tournament, but the team continues to be optimistic. “We’re going all the way to the State Championship with our pretty boy swag,” jokes sophomore teammate Emma.
Even after such a great start to this year’s season, the girls still remain remarkably modest about themselves. “None of the players are any better than the others, we all have our strengths and weaknesses but we also can individually rise to the occasion when needed,” remarks varsity player Hannah.
Regardless of what the records say, the team will still need much more work, determination, and practice to make it to state. “ Stats are like bikinis, they show some things but not all,” finishes Coach Nolan.
