What an unbelievable season for the 7th grade Lady Falcons! Their dedication, hard work, and incredible teamwork led them to an undefeated regular season. While they fought hard in the sectional championships, they came up just short in the final game. Despite the loss, we couldn't be prouder of their perseverance and everything they've achieved this season. Their growth as athletes and teammates has been truly inspiring, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for them!
