            The Garretson 4th grade girls basketball team are repeat champions of the Big Sioux Youth Basketball League. The girls lost one game this season which happened to be the very first game of the season. They played a Brandon Valley team that won the game pretty handedly. However, the girls were able to get a rematch as they ended up playing that same team in the championship game! It was a neck and neck game, but at halftime the Blue Dragons found themselves trailing 7-10. After a pep talk from Coaches Lance Zell and Raegen Altman, the girls came out on fire for the 2nd half. They ended up winning a very physical game 22-18! Every single player improved throughout the season and the team had a lot of fun.
