New Season, New Coaches

This 2013-2014 season for the Lady Norsemen Basketball has acquired new changes. The Head Varsity Coach, Coach Skelton retired from coaching last season which means Coach Holman is stepping up and taking the title as Head Varsity Coach. He states “Varsity basketball takes execution to win. JV is learning to play the game.” The new teacher, Miss Petges is also stepping into to take the roll as Junior Varsity Coach. Coach Holman has been holding open gyms here and there for the athletes that are not in sports at the moment. When asked how they were going he responded “Good so far. It’s hard because so many girls are in volleyball.” November 4th kicks off the first practice for the whole team. When asked how Mr. Holman thought the season would go, he responded, “We will be talented and will hopefully translate to wins. It will be a learning experience for everyone but I expect good things.” Senior, Lindsey Larson, stated “I’m excited for this year, it’s going to be weird without having Coach Skelton there to make joking remarks on the way I do things but other than it should go well. I think if we all focus in and work hard, we’ll have a stellar team.” Sophomore, Maddie Friestad, said “I’m excited and it’s going to really fun. All of us girls will work really well together.” Basketball is kicked off the October 30th at 6 o’clock for the basketball meeting that goes over the expectations and the season schedule.
