The OIS Junior Varsity Girl's season started with four simple desired outcomes that the team
agreed upon. They wanted connection, friendship, to have fun, and to get better at basketball.
Together, they accomplished all of those things and more. The team was comprised of four sixth-graders and three seventh-graders. They played in the always strong East Bay Middle School League Seventh Grade Varsity Division and were able to qualify for the postseason championship tournament at Willard Middle School in Berkeley. The girls played two tough teams, Walnut Creek Intermediate School and Willard Middle School, in order to qualify for the championship game. On Dec. 23 the team fell short against Benicia, in a game that had several
momentum shifts.
