The varsity girls won 48-45 Monday night at home.
Quaker Valley girls basketball coach Jim Dudas was feeling better at the conclusion of Monday night’s game than he did at halftime, when the Quakers were trailing Avonworth. The Lady Quakers went on to capture the 48-45 Section 6-AA win. “They’ve been working so hard,” Dudas said. “This has been a goal since last year and I couldn’t be prouder. This is tremendous.” Last year, the Quakers had trouble against Avonworth’s Lady Lopes, considered one of the top teams in the WPIAL. Following a 65-48 loss to the team last season, Dudas told Patch, “We’ll get better.” He wasn’t kidding. The Quakers were down 25-12 at halftime, but remained in control. After falling behind 27-14 in the third period, the Quakers closed the gap and tied the game 37-…

Eighth-grader Cora Saftner has learned a valuable lesson over the years: It's more about teamwork than winning.
Cora Saftner's basketball team at St. James School is undefeated in its section play so far this year. Here is what Cora had to say: My basketball team has been playing together since we were in the third grade. For most of us who are now in eighth grade, that makes five years. We have learned the importance of teamwork, and how it affects the way we play the game. One of our mottos adopted over the years is, “My MVP is the team.” We have all been working hard to stay undefeated. We try to “play like [we] practice,” as Coach Louis Bolen always says. My team and I are trying hard to finish our basketball career at St. James as we started it --- as section champions. My team and I are trying hard to finish our basketball career at St. …
