Grace is having a good varsity season and the team is doing well. Right now they have a 4-3 record. A couple girls have been out with injuries which is making it interesting. Grace has been playing out of position most of the time she is on the floor at the 4 and even the 5. She still manages to score and has been blocking shots and defending well but she's been picking up lots of fouls and her rebounding has suffered a bit. Can't really track her individual stats, whoever is keeping them uses quite a bit of creative license. It will be interesting to see this team when it is intact, hopefully by the end of the season.

Stone is a 7th grader playing varsity for what is an extremely competitive team with a very challenging schedule. Not only did Stone get in the game, she played decent minutes and ended up scoring seven with a number of assists! Congratulations to a wonderful kid who has worked extremely hard for this moment! More great things to come for Grace Stone. From St John the Baptist in W Islip the girls went to St Dom's in Oyster Bay to catch another couple games.
