It Had to Happen Some Time

Winning streaks never end on a happy note. In fact, when they end, the pain of the loss is usually amplified exponentially by the duration of the streak. When a 58 game winning streak comes to an end...IT HURTS!

Southridge girls fell to Jesuit 61-48 on their own home court, ending a 4 year, 58 game winning streak against Metro League opponents. As the girls quickly left the court towards the private solitude of the locker room, the pain could be seen in their faces. This loss will stand out in the team's minds for quite a while...the pain will likely subside fairly quickly as the Skyhawks focus their attention on another streak that they would like to keep ongoing. This streak stands at only two wins...but they are big ones...two OSAA State Championships. As Oregon's form of March Madness unfolds next month, time will tell if the Skyhawks championship streak will continue. The girls do not want to experience a similar feeling again this season.
