I agree most kids wouldnt see it as a chance to get better but it looks like she gets it and it has helped her and the team.

Trust me she was NOT happy playing JV. She is dedicated and did it because, lets face it, she had no choice. My point wasn't that she did or didnt play JV. My point was WHY wasn't she playing more to begin with. I think she has gotten the short end of the "Adler Sisters" transfer for 3 years now, and her play now seems to indicate she should have been playing more all along.

Can't a player who plays half of the varsity game improve by playing JV? HHS has 3-4 freshman who play Freshman and JV so they are getting plenty of time also. HHS only has 17 players right now at the Varisty,JV, and Freshman level and 2 of those players are seniors and one is an 7th/8th grader. ALL of the girls are getting minutes. IMO players who don't start varsity, aren't seniors and only play 16 minutes in a varsity game should play JV also.

The fact they only have 17 players total at all three levels really surprises me. They are a decent size school and I would have thought the total would be closer to 23-25. Any reason for the low number? Just curious.

Soccer. ALOT of girls start soccer at early age. In the past not many opportunites for 1st, 2nd, 3rd graders to play basketball. It's getting better but still have a ways to go. I beleive this might be the first group of core players-Allen, Horner, Towles, Cutter, ect. who have played AAU and not soccer in the summer.

Good point, or playing JV ticked her off, she's worked harder in practice and has gotten better. Either way she's been playing great basketball of late and lets hope she keeps it up. Great Kid.

Numbers are down, but 17 can't be correct. They have 13 listed on the varsity roster on their website, and I know that the frosh squad has to have at least 7 or 8 players. Malachi, what's the real number on the three teams?

Soccer is available to the public school girls in Ft Thomas at a young age, basketball is not. Very few public school girls 3rd - 6th grade play basketball in Fort Thomas. Most of the current roster played their elementary ball in other cities or on parochial teams.
