With a strong work ethic and a group of talented basketball players, the Ardrey Kell Junior Varsity Basketball Team has recorded an undefeated season. Led by Coach Jennifer McVicker, the Knights have battled hard in every game from start to finish. The lone blemish on the record is a tie with Myers Park. (CMS allows junior varsity games to end in a tie) Coach McVicker talks about her young players; “We have been strong this year due to our work ethic at practice, the ability to execute on both ends of the floor, and of course, the experience of the Sophomores from last years team with the addition of some really good freshmen players.” “We are very blessed to have the talent level at both the JV and Varsity levels at Ardrey Kell. It speaks volumes of the girls’ ability to work hard and get better everyday at practice and in games. We stress everyday on the JV Team “How Big is Your Heart?” and “We begin as 1, We Play as 1, We win as 1, TOGETHER!” (L-R)
The team has been led by many different players. Until late, Darah DeWalt was a main contributer. She was recently called up to the varsity team. “Right now, every player on my roster has really tepped up to fill Darah’s role. In the last five games, We have had four different players lead us in scoring and rebounding. However, Freshman, Erin Rogers has increased her scoring and steals along with Freshman, Deja McCain with scoring and rebounding. I am so very proud of all of these young ladies to really work hard as a team.” Congratulations to the Ardrey Kell High School Junior Varsity Girls Basketball Team.
