Mackenzie Redmond is a freshman who plays a very unique role. Since the numbers for the girls basketball team were on the shorter side, there is no freshman team. Instead, Redmond and other freshman play huge roles on the JV team. With the first regular season game just being finished, Redmond can finally sum it up. “I was honestly very nervous being a freshman and having to play JV,” said Redmond. Last night the girls had their first game against the Western Dubuque bobcats, taking home a win. “We’re really tight as a team because we’re always there to pick each other up. The coach’s also play a huge role in that,” Redmond commented. The girls will have the Maquoketa Cardinals next on the list, playing at home.
