GIRLS BASKETBALL
Name: Mollee Chapman

Coach’s Quote: “Mollee didn’t miss a beat even though it was our first game back from our second pause,” said Berkshire coach James Bosley. “She had six blocks and altered quite a few other scoring attempts. It was one of her most complete games as she was a big part of our offense and setting her teammates up for open shots.”

Stats: Finished 7-0 with five pins
Coach’s Quote: “Frank continued to rack up the wins and pins this week,” said Lutheran West coach Dave Ressler. “Frank surprises his opponents with his strength and has collected 17 pins out of his 25 wins this season. All five of Franks pins this week were in the first period and three of them under 30 seconds.”

His style is fun to watch and he’s always in the match. His season record is now 22-2 with 20 pins.”
