The JV girls basketball team defeated Plainfield North at home on Dec.10. 

The girls have been on the road for the past week. Tuesday was their first home game, and they beat Plainfield North by 22 points. The team’s full court press was tough to get through and the girls had effective defense that helped them win the game.

“Our full court press worked well. Our defense was aggressive the whole game,” coach Bridget McMahon said. “We played like we all knew we could.”

The team had good defense, but they also had good offense 

Sophomore Alyanna Schubert was one of the top scorers for Minooka. She is a point guard for the team and is a big help to their offense. 

“We played with more confidence and we were able to score more,” Schubert said. “We felt more comfortable with each other and that helped.” 

 Additionally, being in the home atmosphere made them feel more comfortable and is what they needed to be victorious. 

“It feels really refreshing to win,” sophomore Audrey Medina said. “I think we just needed a home game to get our spark back.”
