The Orcas Middle School girls seventh and eighth grade Falcon teams wrapped up their season with games last week. The eighth grade girls ended their two-year Falcon career undefeated.

Coaches Amber Paulsen and Rich Madan inherited an eighth grade team comprised of a mix of players, including seven fresh off a successful SWISH season. The girls beat teams from Allen, Immaculate Conception, Edison, Lopez and Concrete, dominating most games with exceptional team play. The team experience showed on the court all season, culminating with wins on the road against Concrete 42-0 and Edison 17-11.

Building on the experience the players already had, Paulsen and Madan said they enjoyed the luxury of teaching more advanced team offensive, fast breaks, clock management and transitional defense.
