This past Thursday, the Girls JV Basketball team picked up a bonus game vs rival Milford to close out the 2023 calendar year.  And, the Eagles went into the break on a positive note, defeating their rival, 26-19.

Lakeland jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead behind a suffocating full court man defense leading to several steals and fast break points.  Milford played very good half court man defense causing the Eagles to only be up 10-7 at halftime.  Scoring in the second half picked up slightly with Milford getting withing 1 (19-20) in the fourth quarter courtesy of an 8 point run.  Lakeland did not panic and responded with their own 6-0 run to end the game. The Eagles played their most complete game of the year defensively and owned the boards on both ends of the court.    Sophomore Claire Linen led Lakeland with 10 points.  Sophomore Haley Aberlich scored 5 and freshman Alyssa Goldman added 4.  Other scorers, Morgan Dial (2) Geneva Willis (2), Aly Dahm (2) and Anna Linen (1).

Lakeland improves to 3-2.
