It’s been a tough season for the girls basketball team at Don Bosco Charter High School.
How tough? When Don Bosco’s girls score, fans for the other team cheer.
They’ve been pummeled every game this season. The closest was a 42-point loss. Hickman Mills beat them by 120. Through five games, the composite score for the year: 394-17.
Whuppings like that would make a lot of players run for the bus — at halftime. But these Don Bosco girls have guts. They come to play. They know what’s likely to happen, and they show up anyway.
They know they are different from other schools and other teams. The players attend Kansas City’s only charter alternative high school for a variety of disciplinary reasons. Some also live on their own. There are mothers on the team. They work jobs.Listed below are links to blogs that reference this entry: Big losses are still victories for this team.
