I got up to the HS yesterday evening to see the girls beat Schuyler 74-36 and again mid-afternoon to see them beat Waverly 50-34. Both games were closer than the score would indicate. Last night 6'2" Kourteney Zadina "couldn't miss" 3- point shots and finished with 28 points. They also had a 6'2' girl who is a very good athlete. I walked out of the gym right behind her after the game to realize just how tall and well proportioned she is. This afternoon Waverly led 11-10 after the first quarter. Fortunately, today Hannah Tvrdy (UN-L recruit) was on target and scored 23 points. Taylor Seaman scored 10 today and one of them was a mid-court 3-pointer at the end of the first half when the buzzer went off while the ball was on its way to the basket. Waverly also has a 6'2' girl that's a Junior with a 6'0" sister who is a Freshman. Seward will really be at a loss next year for height. We do have a 6'0" 9th grader on the JV team who played some last night and a couple others that will be 5'11" Seniors. It is amazing to me how well coordinated these tall girls are and how much athletics has helped their confidence. I remember some 35-40 years ago when some people had a girl go through surgery to curtail her height. I've often wondered how such operations effected people in later life. We have made progress in medicine as well as social justice.
