The Hawk Squawk January/February 2014 | Page 2

Continued from page 1… Movie Review Getting to the consolation championship game wasn’t a walk in the park. They had to play GHS archrival, Marble Valley. Early in the season, the boys had played them and lost by two. To get into the consolation championship game, they had to beat Marble Valley. This game was close throughout. No team was ever up by more than two. It was a nail biter until the end. With seconds left, Donnie G. was fouled and walked up to the free throw line. He had to make one to tie the game and two to win it. The first shot was good. One more for the win. The crowd fell silent and…. He made it! The boys pulled out a victory through hard work, teamwork and determination. Christian P., the game high scorer, said, “The coaches are very proud of our team. It was a nerve-racking game. It felt great when we beat them because we had lost in the regular season by two.” The JV basketball team had an AMAZING season. By: Spencer S.
