DUTCHSPORTS Spring Sports Highlights Girls Basketball SPC Division I Runner up
For the fourth time in five years, the girls basketball team played in the finals of the SPC Tournament. The program lost three starters from the previous season, battled through injuries, added new players and overcame a slow start to end the season with a strong finish. The girls basketball program has won 31 straight North Zone counter games dating back to 2009. The girls hit their stride after winter break as they battled Class 2A state champion OKC Northeast in the finals of the Stroud tournament. Confidence followed, wins piled up and the girls basketball team made a mighty run at the SPC title but fell short to Kinkaid, 60-58. The Dutch were coached by Crystal Lawson, Becky Heidotten and Tag Gross.
