Girls
Due to the Lady Bucs dominating defense they came out with a win against Caledonia 43-27. The bucs focused on playing together that night not only defensively, but offensively as well.
“We took them out of their game. They are a team that scores a lot of points in transition, so we really slowed them down,” coach Kowalczyk-Fulmer said.
