Fossil girls basketball sparks the start of something new

Emily Brey • November 30, 2015

Fossil Ridge High School is known for its girls basketball records throughout the state, parents and students from other schools have complimented past teams at FRHS this fall and winter and they are predicted to have a great season. Leading up to this season of high school basketball Ben Jenkins commented on the topic, “I’ve heard the teams at Fossil have been strong for the last couple years, so I’m sure that they will be this year again to. Not just on the guys side but the girls too.”

The Sabercat girls Varsity team is playing tomorrow which marks the start of their first tournament this season which will be at Thunder Ridge High School. The tournament runs through the 1,3,5, and 10 of December. These girls worked very hard last week at tryouts everyday having to do large amounts of conditioning as well as scrimmage play.

The team, after having a strong season last winter, is ready to bring the heat this year. After the addition of a talented freshman, Ashley Steffeck as well as a few skillful underclassmen to the Varsity team, things are turning in an even more positive direction.

Come out and support the girls at their first few games tomorrow at Thunder Ridge, time is to be determined, but they would appreciate the support.

About the Contributor

Emily Brey, Sports Editor

Emily Brey is a senior at Fossil Ridge High School who is in her third year on the Etched In Stone staff and is Co-Editor of the Sports BEAT. Emily plays varsity soccer for Fossil and also plays for Arsenal Colorado on the ‘00 Academy team. She is committed to play soccer at Colorado State University - Pueblo and plans to study business and law in college. After attending CSUP, she hopes to attend CU where she will go for her MBA.

Between taking on a full schedule and all of her extracurricular commitments, Emily is a very busy bee this year. Emily is serving as Vice President of FBLA here at Fossil, and is a member of Key Club and NTHS (National Technical Honor Society). She is an ambitious young lady whose reliability, organization, and work ethic has helped her achieve many goals in her time thus far at Fossil Ridge. She is a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and the bands, All Time Low, SWMRS, Waterparks, and The Wrecks. She enjoys spending time outside and organizing things, which relaxes her. When she isn’t covering a story or playing soccer, Emily enjoys being a homebody and watching movies.

The friendly, family-like environment that the journalism program at Fossil encompasses has been something she has valued since freshman year. She would love to be able to continue journalistic work after high school. Emily looks forward to leading the Journalism 1 writers, no matter if that’s in journalism or just life in general. Plus, she hopes to inspire the younger writers to report on other topics besides sports, just because that’s something that she wishes she would’ve done the past two years. Her main goal for the year in journalism is to get better with her coverage, especially with using multiple media platforms. Emily wants to try and expand from her comfort zone of sports writing, hoping to experience writing different journalistic topics.
