It’s tough to put in words how tough last night was. 3 years ago we had just 5 wins. We went to the elite 8 and gave it our all. This team bought into everything us coaches asked of them. They trusted and believed in each other. Proud is the only thing we can say. What a TEAM!
As we wait for our tourney seeding to come out, we have exciting news! Congrats to Soph Emily Collins and Sr Capt Ava Ciaccio on earning ML All-Star honors. We are so proud of you both. All the hard work you put in helped lead to the most successful season in years!
For the first time in 4 years Winchester Girls have won a Liberty Division win in the Middlesex League! 54-45 over Lexington. Senior Captain Katie Degnan with 16 pts 10 rebounds.

Thoughts on
@GbbWinchester
:
- The word that comes to mind with
@EmilyCollins25
is poise. You can't speed her up. Also a sniper from 3.
- Claire English uses the upfake well. Doesn't force anything.
- Ceci Kelcourse complements Collins and English well and makes good decisions.
FINAL: No. 32 Winchester 61 No. 1 Catholic Memorial 55
In one of the more incredible upsets you will see, Winchester knocks off the Knights in the first round of the MIAA Boys Basketball State Tournament
