Friendships Ana Karen Quintero (11th grade) , claimed the reason why she joined the girls basketball team was because of her friends. Ever since she played basketball in middle school she had decided to join an actual team, which also gave her the chance to make more friendships and motivation for the sport. Teamwork is and will always be her favorite quality about basketball.

Everyone can agree that the Lady Rams tried their best this year. As time went by new players joined, which made team chemistry very important. The Rams were able to build it up thanks to Coach Payan and his coaching skills on the court. Memories were made, wins and loses as well, everyone was sweating, out of breathe, some even made their own points, and were injured. However, their endurance paid off at the end of the day with more gains. "I felt the adrenaline in my body as I took the ball and started running towards the opponents side to make a three pointer, I shot the ball and made it! Everyone in the crowd was going wild and clapped!" said Judith Zamora (10th). When our lady Rams were up against La Quinta High School, Leslie Rodriguez (11th) in order to save the ball from being "out of bounce" ran for the ball, caught it, threw it back in the court, and flew off on to the bleachers herself, "This had to be my favorite memory from the whole season," she claimed.
