Eight Girls, 18-0

About the Book

The WOLA Middle School Girls' basketball team was guided from having a close record of 13-1 to realizing the dream of having a perfect basketball season with a record of 18-0 by the crucial coaching skills of Coach Mabel, Coach Ellen (a substitute coach), two parents of team players, Coach Kay, and Coach Lu. The WOLA defending champions was the team to beat in the 2005-2006 season. The WOLA girls found a way to dig deep within themselves on occasions when they were behind on points and short on energy. The basketball talents of this special group of girls and their coaching staff proved to be as unstoppable as the coming together of natural atmospheric conditions that create a perfect storm.
