LA GRANGE — La Grange girl’s basketball won by annihilation Jan.12 at Leopards Gym in La Grange by defeating Manor New Tech High School with a fi nal score of 67-6. This match was lopsided from the very start and La Grange was way too much for Manor New Tech to handle, resulting in tons of easy baskets and layups. "We'll watch film, see what the girls did well,” said La Grange head girl’s basketball coach Heath Golan.
“Talk about the things they did and just kind of build on it. This is one of those games, hope- fully we get some confidence go ing into the second round. We got some young players. Some girls being pulled up from JV and freshmen, so they got time tonight. Hopefully that gives them a little confidence as well."
La Grange sophomore guard Kylie Trlicek has been the leader on this team all year and showed her leadership again in this event. “I just look for them to always pick me up when I’m down,” Trlicek said on the senior leadership. “I do the same for them. We all just work to get each other points and see each other on the court.”
