Dribbling toward the end of season on a high note, the Diamond Bar High School’s girls basketball team converted into a habit of winning.

In the most recent game against Walnut, which took place on Feb. 4, the girls had an impressive victory with a score of 65-57.

“We all started and ended with a lot of energy this game and were ready to win from the start,” freshman Erika Liang said.

In the CIF game on Feb. 10, the girls pulled out another win against Polytechnic High School, 58-52. 

Co-captain junior Avril Ho and sophomore Morgan Seshiki contributed several three-pointers on the offensive end. Senior Gizell Lien was also exceptional offensively, using the spin-move to her advantage.

“The CIF game was really important to us because in our heart we all really wanted to win the game,” freshman Nataly Sun said. “It was tough but we pushed through and won the game.”

Such components like fully engaged players, communication throughout the game and strong rebounds led to the girls’ numerous wins after a rough start.

“I’m proud of us for coming together and not giving up even with our tough schedule,” Ho said.
