An immediate full-court press was called on the starting play for the McClatchy Lions. Leading the team were the starting five seniors: Sianna Squires, Nina Cain, Kaela Stancil-Williams, Milah Masters, and Norret Lewis.
Starting off strong in the first quarter and never losing the lead, Sianna Squires created the starting three-point advantage. With outstanding ball movement across the floor, along with a brilliant double team on St. Francis’ point guard Sydney Teoh, Nina Cain dominated the floor with defensive rebounds and countless blocks.
The team spirit was evident not only among the players but also in the crowds. The immaculate cheers from the step team and the dances from the cheerleaders made it clear throughout the whole gym that the Troubadours were in the Lions’ Den.
