How do you measure success? The definition says..."the accomplishment of an aim or purpose". For the Alliance Girls Basketball Team the 2021-22 season was a success...not just because of wins and losses, but through hard work, competing each game and showing team unity every day, every practice and every game. The Bulldogs celebrated their season and honored their Senior players at a team banquet Tuesday night.
Head Coach Stephen Crile along with Assistant Coaches Reve Fries and Heidi Manion, thanked the Seniors for their dedication and for "buying in" with what a new coach was trying to build. Coach Crile talked about how the team got better, throughout the season and it showed in improved team statistics. But Coach focused on how the players learned life lessons that will make them better people as they move on. Coach also had each of the Seniors talk as part of learning a life lesson.
