Great Job Lady
Bears
Congratulations go out this week to a successful
Tri-Valley Lady Bears varsity basketball team that brought championship honors
to their school district and Sullivan County and to their outstanding coach for
his amazing two year regular season undefeated record.
The basketball team seemingly walked through the
competition in the OCIAA Division V except for a close win at Tuxedo where
Katlynn Greffrath played with a severe ear infection and where Tuxedo plays a
tough defense in their bandbox smaller gym.
The Lady Bears went 16-0 to win their division and then
brought home the Section IX Championship.
The majority of opposing coaches Tri-Valley played
against always offered compliments like, "they are so deep and well conditioned
it's hard to keep up with them," and there was always comments which credited
coach Jason Closs.
Traveling with this great group of ladies throughout the
season and doing our media coverage almost becomes personal keeping in mind that
when I step on the court to do my work I have to take a neutral position
providing fair and equal coverage for both teams.
But in my heart it has been my pleasure to know and work
with a great group of ladies and coach who gave their community and this county
a wonderful experience.
Individually this past season also gave Katlynn Greffrath the opportunity to score over 1,000 points in her high school career....indeed an outstanding feat to a young lady that literally eats, sleeps and drinks basketball and everyone knows this is a big, big part of her life.
As to this team's overall approach to the 2013-14 season Coach Closs said it best, "our girls mindset is that they come out with a business-like approach and do what their suppose to do even if the chips are down." In regards to the overall season, Closs said, "a great season, we put four months of hard work and efforts and ask the girls to give so much, great personalities, great girls who all had great work ethics and values and they do the same in practice as they do at game time and it's been a special treat for me in my first year."
Basketball fans throughout OCIAA Division V and a number of Sullivan County schools have also been treated to the stand-out professionalism of one of the most knowledgeable basketball coaches in the tri-state area as Coach Closs' last years JV boys team and this years varsity girls team awarded him with a combined 32-0 record in regular season play.
A great job by everyone connected to the Tri-Valley Girls varsity basketball team.
