NC Basketball Association's 5th Grade Girls Team Wins 2

From New Canaan Basketball Association: NEW CANAAN, CT — There was an invasion of the ball snatchers in Ridgefield on Saturday night as the NCBA 5th Grade girls Ram basketball team played league opponent St. Mary's.

Players Madison Hartnett, Lauren Livesay, and Sarah Marshall teamed up for an extraordinary number of steals. No one on the opposing team could feel safe with the ball. That set up the offense led by Sydney Patten and Julia McPhillips to light up the score board. Then, Grace Driscoll found her stride to score a few well timed baskets, along with Jacqueline Mulle who got her first points of the season to help seal the win, 26 to 15.

In addition to strong defense, some bold passing by Samantha Plosker and Jane Shumway led to plenty of fast breaks that look promising for the Ram's future. The girls closed out the weekend with another win against a much larger, non-league 5th and 6th grade team from East Hartford Sunday night, 18-13.
