Showtime

BY JESSICA CARTEE
On Nov. 26th, 2013, the Western Dubuque girls basketball team started off their season with a 43-29 victory over their rivals Beckman. In the beginning Coach Ostwinkle says, “The focus for practice was fundamentals. After that we worked on a lot of defensive breakdowns and always had a rebounding drill.” One goal Coach Ostwinkle has is to improve everyday and of course to make it to state.                     
This year the team consists of three returning seniors, Jenny Brehm, Zoey Weber and Molly Lembezeder.. Starters include Rose Simon-Ressler, Megan Maahs, Zoey Weber, Molly Lembezeder, and Mikaela Armstrong. So far the girls have only had one loss and have a record of 10 wins one loss. Their motto is after you win the game you move on to the next. Since their record is so good the team now has a big target on their back because they now have something to lose; the chance to go to state. Our girls work together and have the mental toughness to win their games. A win over WD for other teams would be huge, and the team has a tough future ahead of them. Friday, Jan. 24th is Parents Night against West Delaware which will be a good game because they are also undefeated in their division. Senior Night is also coming up on Feb. 7th against Anamosa. It will be a drive out diabetes to help fundraise
