Valley beat the favored Mystic squad by a 39-24 final to take the top spot in the tournament. Despite being out-sized, Valley jumped out to an early 10-2 advantage and held off Mystic for the win. The team’s formula for success included tenacious rebounding and defense, as well as consistent foul shooting. This win concluded a strong season in which Valley earned an overall record of 13-2, plus a share of the Shoreline Travel League title at 11-2. This class of girls finished their careers with a mark of 28-3 in their two years at John Winthrop Middle School.
