While the Bentley boys' basketball team has gotten a lot of attention, even that 15-0 start can't overshadow the progress of the girls' basketball team.
With only two seniors and one junior on its roster, the young team is laying a foundation this season.
At 7-8, the girls have already surpassed last year's win total. Bentley capped their preseason with a second-place finish in the Garnet Division of the West Coast Jamboree (WCJ).
Senior Jane Baffi and freshman Sydney Adams, both all-tourney at the WCJ, lead Bentley in scoring. Baffi averages 14.0 ppg and Adams adds 13.8 ppg.
Tina Chapman adds on the defensive end, averaging 8.6 rebounds per game, while blocking on average 2.5 shots per game.
The competition in the Bay Counties League-East will test them the rest of the way, but the improvement in this year's team is clear.
