Basketball Season Begins…. Good Morning Banneker: Our Lady Bobcats played a very close game with Parkland last Tuesday. The lead changed several times throughout the contest. We were up by as many as 4 points during the closing minutes. We made a few mental mistakes and were unable to recover the points. Phajia Hutchinson led the team with 14 points. Tatiyana McClaney, Courtney Hutchinson, and Stephanie Woodson also scored. The team is showing much improvement with each game. Our next game is today against Rosa Parks. Please come out and support your Lady Bobcats. Coach - Ms. Vails
