RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL girls finish winless season, but that doesn't tell the whole story

The Randall Elementary School girls basketball team may have finished 0-6 this season, but they had fun and showed determination and hard work under Coach John Cahalan.

The team thanked Mr. Cahalan at their end-of-the-season party.

The girls played from November 2–December 7.

The fifth game of the season, played against Blair Moody, was a heartbreaker. Tied into the second overtime, free throws decided the game. The Randall girls ended up losing the game by just 1 point.

During the season five girls scored: Isabel S. (14 points), Janiah W. (eight), Alyssa W. (eighth), Rebecca W. (two) and DeAriah A. (two).

The staff and students are proud of the team and wish them the best next year.
