2.11.10 Valley Christian 22 Head Royce 49
Valley lost to conference leading Head Royce. Overall, it was a much better game than when we played them earlier in the season – so progress is good! Brittany Smith once again lead us in scoring with 18.
2.16.10 Valley Christian 30 St. Elizabeth 34
We tried our best to send our Seniors (Brittany Smith, Sarah Souza and Erika Bellitt) out in style but early foul trouble and cold shooting hinder our attempt. In a very emotional night we just couldn’t seem to find the basket but the work ethic and the “stick-to-it-iveness” of our team never failed.
We ended the season with a 7-18 record....much better than in the past, yet we let some games slip away that we thought we should have won. Overall, I’m so very proud of the girls and how we played this season. Never before have I seen a team try so hard each and every game (ok, minus one! Smile!). Their attitude day in and day out was outstanding and even though we were inexperienced, they stepped up to the plate every game against teams with much more experience and never complained. I love my girls and will miss them. :-)
2.17.10

The score was tied at the end of the 1st quarter but the Lady Vikings just couldn’t pull off an upset of the #2 team in the league.

Over 50 free-throws were shot in this crazy and rough game against St. Elizabeth. In the end, thanks to the free-throw shooting of Brittany Smith (16-22) the Lady Vikings pulled out a victory 39-32.

1.30.10
After the extremely rough game the night before and the 4th game in a week, the Lady Vikings hobbled into the gym for Saturday’s game against SF Waldorf. Sarah Souza was unable to play due to a sprained ankle and Olivia Cunha and Brittany Smith were barely moving but the Vikings dug deep and were still able to make a game of it. Unfortunately a few missed defensive boards at the end sealed the defeat for Valley, 31-19. Smith lead the team with 7 points and Rebecca Pilz 6.

Valley Christian 41 College Prep 35
The Lady Vikings won their first conference/league game in 3 years by defeating College Prep on Friday! Cold shooting and too many turnovers had the team trailing by 7 at the half. The second half was a mixture of great defense and taking care of the ball. Eventually the Vikings pulled in front and Brittany Smith nailed pressure free-throws down the stretch to seal the victory. Smith lead all scores with 24 and had 6 steals, Olivia Cunha threw in 9 and grabbed 8 rebounds. Giselle Aikenhead lead all rebounders with 9.

Valley 32 Redwood 52
A hot shooting night from Brittany Smith was not enough to lift the Vikings over Redwood Christian. In the first conference match up of the year, Valley lost 52-32. The game was close in the first half with Redwood holding a 28-22 lead going into the locker room but week scoring in the 2nd half hurt the team.

Erika Bellitt and Brittany Smith lead the way with 14 and 13 points respectively while Sara Souza chipped in 6, Olivia Cunha 5 and Rebecca Pilz 2. Erika, Sara, Giselle Aikenhead and Kailey Hanks did a great job on the offensive boards and the defense was all around great. Next up is Fremont Christian (12/29) - a team we were beaten by a few weeks ago – the girls are looking for some revenge – should be a great game!

In our final game before Christmas we traveled to play a very good Ripon Christian team. We lost the game but the ladies played hard and adjusted well to coaching changes that they had never even gone over in practice! I was proud and impressed with their ability to change with out much practice.

The Lady Vikings traveled to SF Friday night and played an exciting contest against Urban School/SF. We lead at half-time but a slow 3rd quarter gave Urban the lead. The game was back and forth through-out the second half but Urban eventually pulled it out by making freethrows when we were forced to foul. Final score was 41-31. Brittany Smith lead all scorers with 17 while Olivia Cunha chipped in 8, Erika Bellit 4 and Sara Souza 2.

A fourth quarter comeback was not enough as Valley fell to Fremont Christian 33-44. We struggled the first 3 quarters to really put anything together but the Ladies dug deep and took out a sizable chunk of Fremont’s lead – we are looking forward to potentially playing them again in the West Coach Jamboree tourney.

4 Valley placed 3rd overall in the St. Elizabeth Holiday Tournament with a win over KIPP King. Brittany Smith was selected to the all tournament team.

Valley lost a tough one tonight against a very good Salesian team 57-29. The team started off slow and shaky but soon started making progress and adapted quite well to what Salesian was throwing at them. In the end poor free-throw shooting and costly turn-overs prohibited us from closing the scoring gap. The team played extremely hard, never gave up and acted with class and “Christ-likeness” even when things were tough – I couldn’t be prouder. We were led in scoring by Brittany Smith who tossed in 20.
Next game is tomorrow (12/4) at 4:30.
