On December 13th the mighty women Raptors flew into the Stowe gymnasium and took a bite out of the Crusaders. The bald eagle, Dstek, tore apart Stowe's 2-3 zone with 11 points in the first quarter, helping RA jump out to an 18-6 lead. Jasmine "the Raven" Harrington lead the second quarter with 5 points and helped push the halftime lead to 36-16. The little "eaglets", freshmen Smiley Brooks, Amber Brooks, and KMac had 1, 6, and 12 points respectively.
Stow'e Julia Scrubbs lead the way for the Crusaders with 27 points. JStek hawked her up and down the court. With the help of the eagle and the raven, she held Scrubbs to 9 of 51 shooting for the game. Defensively, Rivendell will have to im prove as they host a strong Lake Region team on Tuesday.
In other game news, Red Rooster Ameden went down in the 3rd quarter with a knee injury. All of us birds of prey will be eagerly awaiting her return, especially Vulture Carter.

Rivendell's Philosophy on Athletics
Competitive athletics play an integral part in the educational programs at Rivendell. The challenges associated with competition create learning experiences for all athletes. A player’s drive, determination, confidence, mental toughness, and emotional control are tested daily. The educational value of athletics lies in how the athlete copes with these challenges. High quality leadership is a must. Coaches stress commitment, dedication, and hard work and work closely with the players as they face these obstacles. With good leadership, athletes will learn self-discipline and self-motivation, and develop good sportsmanship in both winning and losing. It is our hope that athletes are taught a formula that can be applied to real-life situations: They learn to plan, prepare, perform, evaluate, and try again. Our teams play to win, but winning is only a by-product of hard work, good teamwork, respect, and good sportsmanship, which are our focus.
