Feb. 2: After suffering a couple of tough road losses, the Prep varsity girls looked to use the comforts of their own home gym and bounce back against Mayfield.

The Rebels were led by the teams’ two stars Tala Ismail with 25 points and Maya Okamoto with 12 points. Both girls worked together to get the whole team flowing. Special recognition to recently added Ani Pridjian who scored her first points as a varsity player with four.

Feb. 4: The Prep varsity girls faced a big, strong, physical basketball team in the Webb Gauls, but withstood the punishment to get a hard-fought 51-40 win.
