On the Middle School side, our Monarch 5th and 6th grade basketball team played with heart, hustle, and lots of team spirit in their recent game against St. Francis Episcopal. Though the Monarchs came up short with a 10–17 final score, their effort and teamwork made for an exciting game from start to finish.

Through Magnolia's parent-led Junior Sports program, the third-grade Monarchs launched their basketball season with an exciting 14–13 victory over JPII! The team worked together beautifully, showing solid plays and great teamwork as they moved the ball down the court.  

Sheridan Y.'s hustle helped guide several plays and dominated the score board, while Lottie G. helped keep possession with key rebounds. Cami B. made a clutch save to keep the ball from going out of bounds, and Birdie F.'s strong defense earned a trip to the free throw line. Emily P. added an assist and sank two free throws, Catherine H. held firm on defense, and Joy A. showed grit under the basket with rebounds and a foul shot for an extra point. Sarah G. anchored the defense with determination and focus.  

For many of these Monarchs, this was their very first time on the court, and they’re already mastering their dribbling skills and man-to-man defense. Under the direction of Coach Ashley, the season ahead looks full of promise and excitement.  

The Monarchs even won the halftime free throw contest—earning one more point that sealed their thrilling 14–13 win. Way to go, Monarchs!
