Do Hard
Better
Varsity Girls Basketball fought their way to a DII-AA Region Runner Up title this year , no small feat in one of the state ’ s toughest leagues . With an overall record of 18-12 and the program ’ s first Final Four appearance since its DII debut , the season boasted grit and growth for each player . Highlights include Region Quarterfinal and Semifinal victories over Ensworth and Father Ryan (# 1 seed ). The team won 8 of their last 10 games to make an incredible end-of-year run . As they gathered to pray before their Lion Walk to State , coaches spoke words of encouragement and affirmation over the players regardless of the tournament outcome . Seniors Addy Grace Livingston , Charlie Omer , and Natalie White upheld the team ’ s season motto of Do Hard Better during each practice , workout , and game .
Head Coach Becky Legate remarks , “ Words cannot express the love that I have for this team . This year was full of ups and downs , but this team never waivered . They worked so hard every day and continued to persevere and learn from their mistakes . Our motto this year was Do Hard Better , based upon the idea that life is going to be hard , but successful people learn how to handle hard better than others . God doesn ’ t promise us that life will be easy , but He does promise that He will be with us no matter what . I am so proud of the overall spiritual , emotional , and physical growth of this team throughout this season .”
