In the hopes of beating Pontiac again, the girls have been practicing every day. Team member Katie Bergeron commented by saying that even though they beat them once they are always a good match.

“Hit them where they ain’t,” said Coach Josh Klokkenga when asked what his game plan to win is.

With the Spartan winning record of 11-4, the girls are very optimistic they can overcome the 0-7 Indians. “Hard work and team work is key,” said senior Shannon Morr.

“I’m excited to represent a good cause. It will be a fun game,” said Jr. Sierra Priebe.

Parkinson’s has no cure so that is why games like this are so important to help raise money, raise awareness ,and to find a cure.

The Black Out night is a great way to raise awareness and money.  So pull on a black t-shirt and come out at watch the Freshmen team at 5 pm, the JV team at 6 pm, and lastly the Varsity at 7 pm.
