From coach Nancy Ton - Congratulations to Madrona’s Robotics Team: Dean Sasaki, Ian Kim, Kyle Esquierdo, and Adrian Nassif for winning the TUSD Combat Bot Championship on Friday, May 19th at Hull Middle Schhol. Amazing job, guys! Way to go to all 7 teams! I’m so proud of you!

Basketball Recap from the Coaches:

• Mrs. Miskimen: Congratulations to the girl's basketball team finishing the season undefeated, 2 years in a row (10-0 record) with a killer win in the championship game again over Hull by the score of 46-12. You girls truly understand and execute the meaning of teamwork. All 10 of you girls helped with the win. You all have individual strengths and you know your rolls. Seven different girls scored points. The scoring was lead by Leah S. with 13 points, Kaya C. with 12, Kali P. with 9, 6th grader Tamina T. with 5 points, Saki N. with 4th points, Olivia W. with 2 and Alan C. with 1 point. Amazing defense was demonstrated through out the game allowing only 3 points scored in the whole second half (20 minutes). Great rebounding by Ilani P., Megan W. and Haley T. added great defensive as well. It was a true pleasure to coach and watch your girls play all season. To my 8th graders...Best of luck in high school. I'll miss you. To my 5 returners-I'll see you around campus and on the court. Way to finish with a bang. I am so proud of you girls. Go Wildcats!!
  
• Mrs. Miskimen: Congratulations to the boy's basketball team remaining undefeated this season and last season by beating Hull by a great come back win with the final score 58-57. Boys were down by 12 points at one time early in the game, but their great defense got them back in the game. Leading scorers were: Elias E. with 23 points, Riley M. with 19 points, Eli O. with 6 points, Cayden L. with 5 points, 6th grader Dante P. with a 3 pointer and Cenzo R. with 2 points. You boys really turned it around and demonstrated great team effort. Colin Tucker added great defense. Jaebian C, Carter N and Ethan N also got in the game and contributed to the win. Riley made 2 free throws ( Bonus 1 and 1) with 6 seconds left in the game which ended up being crucial points needed for the victory. That was enough to put the game out of reach even with the 3 pointer- buzzer beater- half court basket made by Hull. What an exciting game in which you guys conquered and came out champions. Great job boys.
