By Elianis Rosado, team captain

The Streaks girls basketball team has been doing rather well this season so far. There are many new characters and wrinkles to smooth out, but overall it is absolute bliss.

The tenacious nature of all the diversity we have on the team this season is absolutely astounding! I have never, in the three years I have been playing, seen such a mind-bending group. Many people had low opinions of our team, based on the adversities we were faced with in back to back seasons. Those opinions are now being tested and pushed away due to the efforts of returners and new faces.

We are all learning the hardships of basketball as a team as well as tasting victory this early in the season. Having won a game was a sign of hope and a new mind set. This is what pushes returners harder than ever as well as the new players to aspire for greater thing.

It is a complete honor as a captain and returner to be able to grow, learn, and carve a new image for the Lady Streaks after years of just coming up short. I believe in all my might that the team has the ability to gain a positive and successful season.

With an earnest attitude I know fthat the tenacity found in between us all will be the driving force to greatness. These mind bending girls are a breath of fresh air. This crisp breath is not only to the team, but to the end of hard times the past season left.
