Niles West’s varsity boys and girls basketball teams participated in the annual Breast Cancer Awareness jamboree game against rival Niles North Saturday, Dec. 6.

With a close game by the Wolves girls’ varsity team, they went into overtime tied up 48-48 with the Vikings, but ended up losing with a final score of 57-52.

“This is just the beginning for us, I know my team plays way better than what we showed tonight, but this season isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon,” senior, captain Julia Easter said after the game Saturday night.

With the loss of the girls, the boy’s varsity went out and got the win over the Vikings with a final score of 74-71.

Junior captain Jojo Rios said Saturday night, “It’s a great feeling of relief to know that the trophy is back where it belongs.”
