This team connection on and off the court is what makes them such a strong team, and supporting that are three seniors Lucy Ruiz, Clare Griffin, Avery Luksic, and team manager Ryan Kersey \u201825.. The team really came together for these seniors, putting time, effort, and money into posters, gifts, and speeches for each senior. \u201cWe have four seniors who have really great personalities and really great character and encourage us as a team,\u201d says Madeline Marinello \u201826. These seniors encourage their teammates to go into every game with a positive mindset and motivate everyone. \u201cMy favorite part of this season was getting to know the girls and working with them this year,\u201d said Ruiz. This group of seniors believes that the team is strong with skills and confidence, and really sees the chemistry between the girls. The values of girlhood in the tight-knit atmosphere really bring everyone together.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Mr. Kersey \u201890 as a coach, this team has improved in so many ways. \u201cAfter being on the team for a while, it\u2019s nice to see how the program has changed under\u00a0 Kersey and how the team has improved skill wise and confidence wise,\u201d says Luksic. After experiencing the team in different years, these girls have noticed the changes and have made their own in the team as well. For senior night, each senior received a poster, personal gifts, and a speech from their players. These girls are highly valued on their team and have made a huge impact on their teammates this season. This team will continue to bring a positive mindset to practice and to games, and will continue to value advice and efforts made by the 2025 seniors.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Chiara Gustinucci \u201827 The Wyoming Seminary girls basketball team had a strong season this year, holding a record of 10-7.
