MAKING HISTORY: The varsity girls basketball team ended a historic season last Friday as they lost 66-52 to Lake Belton in their first area playoff round appearance in decades. Going into the game, junior point guard Emy Chen experienced some nerves due to her familiarity with the Mustangs’ skill level. 

“I played with three of their players over the summer and I knew they were pretty good,” Chen said. “I think that was something that we had to focus on mentally before the game, just trusting and knowing that we could win.

For much of the game, the bi-district champs held their own as they trailed closely behind the Mustangs. 

“We talked a lot about trying to push in transition, and I think that worked out well for us when we did,” Chen said. “It came down to getting stops and scoring but it fell through because we kept trading baskets. We can’t catch up if we don’t stop their run.” 

Another strong point for the Knights, or Chen specifically, was her scoring a career-high 30 points. 

“It helped [to score] that I got fouled a lot and I really didn’t want our season to be over,” Chen said. 

Even with this accomplishment, Chen feels the loss of both the game and her graduating teammates. 

“I love our seniors so much and I'm still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that they’re leaving,” Chen said.

For her performance, Chen is once again up for the Statesman Athlete of the Week. You can vote at the link in our bio to give Chen her second of such an accolade.
