Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Mike Williams was there. He posed for a picture with the girls after the JV contest. Williams, who played for USC before playing in the NFL, is a friend of JV coach Stephanie Cardona. Seattle signed him in April of last year as an unrestricted free agent. |
The Lady Cardinal varsity got a hard-fought win over Grace Brethren Tuesday.
The Lady Cards battled sickness and had foul trouble throughout the game. They were tied 12-12 after the first quarter and were down 27-17 at the half. The Lady Cards found themselves down 37-29 in the third quarter, after falling behind as many as 12 points. In the fourth quarter the Cards dug deep and fought their way back, playing solid defense, holding Grace to 3 points, while scoring 16 to take home the victory.
“A good win for the lady Cards; they are learning how to win, never giving up, and always playing hard,” said Coach Mark Blankenship. “This was a game of desire, and effort. The Lady Cardinals showed that they had both, pulling out the key league win at home.”
The Lady Cards are now 5-2 in league and 9-11 overall.
