It was a bitter sweet victory for the team. On one end it was great for the seniors to finish with such a strong win in front of the home crowd one last time, fortifying their confidence heading into district play, but it was also melancholy in a way as the seniors new it was their last home game after three years of playing in the RBHS gym.
“Everyone was really pumped up for this last game with it being senior night and all,” senior Makenzie Skrabal siad. “So it was nice to win the last home game.”
With the milestone of the last regular season and last home game behind them, the team’s focus is now fully on the postseason, which begins Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Hickman High School. The RBHS girls basketball team couldn’t have ended the season on a higher note with three straight decisive victories. The team hopes to carry this momentum with them into Tuesday’s game and on, throughout the rest of the postseason. With their home playing career now over, the seniors look to finish off their final campaign with postseason success.
“We’ve been through a lot to be able to make it through an injury and come back stronger than ever,” Skrabal siad. “Being able to start my senior year with such a great team and such amazing teammates … [we’ve] only lost to one in-state team.”
