It may be a few days early to cue up Queen’s “We Are the Champions” but, Crossroads Christian Athletic Director Scottie Richardson hopes the girl’s basketball team comes home Saturday as champions. It will be the first time the girl’s team has played in a championship game. The game against Northside Christian Academy will take place at a neutral site, Calvary Day School in Winston-Salem. “We knew we had all the pieces,” Richardson said on Thursday’s SportsTalk.
With only two seniors and one junior, the team was young but those younger players have played great and are lead by Izzy Thorpe. After blowing out #1 seed Pungo 67-28 in the final four Crossroads has now made it farther than any girl’s basketball team in school history. Richardson says the entire school is excited for the team. Once again, that game is Saturday in Winston-Salem at Calvary Day School. Game time is 6pm.
