Sami Steffeck breaks basketball school record

Sami breaks opponent's ankles

Tuesday, January 12 the girls Varsity basketball team tipped off against Legacy at their home court. The Lady Sabercats came out strong and put the game away early, winning 76-29, allowing all of the players that suited up to play.

It was not any other game for Sami Steffeck, she ended the game breaking a school record for points in a game that was set by Savannah Smith when she played for Fossil back in 2014. Steffeck broke the school record by one point, scoring 31 points in the memorable game. She also had 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 8 steals ending the night with a double-double and nearly a triple-double. Not only did Steffeck break a school record, she was 2 steals away from breaking Smith’s steals in a game record. The week of January 11th was very successful yet emotional for Steffeck.

Steffeck states, “Breaking the record was super cool and really exciting. It was a pretty cool feeling to break one of Savannah Smith’s records, since I look up to her as a basketball player.”
