This past week was the celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the Silver Lake High School Girls Varsity Basketball team. The gathering included former team members and coaches and reminiscing on a successful and memorable season in Silver Lake sports history. Below are some thoughts shared by Captain Courtney Yost.
“2010-2011 was my favorite season for so many reasons. It felt like we were building on the previous two years and working towards the success we saw that year. It was especially fun playing on a team where we mostly grew up playing together. We came back and beat Duxbury after losing to them earlier in the season, and had big wins over Whitman-Hansen -one including an OT win. We rivaled those two teams throughout, so beating them always felt extra good. Winning the league was such a solid wrap on not just a season, but years of playing together. We had great chemistry on and off the court, which no doubt contributed to our success. Some more personal highlights are your (Coach Steele) dad chalking up his 300th win, Nicole averaging a double/double per game and winning bookend league championships since the team also won her freshman year, and me scoring my 1000 point. It was a fun year!”
