And, finally, Coach Elrod's 8A girls were nervous, but ready to compete. Competing at the A-level against WoodCreek, however, was a difficult task. That didn't matter to the team's small foward and co-POG, Rosaland Medrano, who scored the team high of 6 points. Rosie battled down low getting to the free throw line three times in the game.The other Player of the Game,  Lynzie Gonzalez, managed to deflect many of the passes that the team was able to steal. The Mavs lost to the very talented Woodcreek Wolves 10 to 47.
