A: The good thing about returning is that it is harder to get quarantined now and we feel a lot safer and do not have to worry about people missing games. Q: How has Covid-19 impacted the season so far? A: Covid has made this season really weird. We have had to cancel many games and wearing a mask at practice is something that I never thought I'd have to do. Overall, it hasn't been a normal season, but we still get to play basketball and that's the most important thing. Q:How has the team shown resilience after a difficult start to the season? A: We stuck together as a team. No matter what went wrong we always stayed together and fought for each other.
