Playing their local rivalry with the stands filled up with people cheering for them gave the team more motivation to play strong and win the game. Some of the players describe their team chemistry with great communication during the game which improved their team dynamic.

Winning this game sets the Paly girls basketball team up for future success in the rest of their league games.

It was a super fun game to play because of all the fans, we usually don’t get any and it was such a different environment to play in. Can’t wait for our next game.
