by Ken Boesenberg

The 2006 West Delaware girls 8th grade basketball teams recently completed their seasons with a very fine 21-3 overall record.
The “A” team finished with a record of 8-3 while the “B” and “C” teams combined to go undefeated at 13-0.
“This group of athletes are very coachable, they are always ready to practice and very willing to learn,” commented Coach Carol Martens.
“Every player showed improvement as the season progressed, from shooting a left-handed lay-up to making their free throws. The off season will give the players a chance to improve their shooting skills and to play against some more seasoned players.”
