Unfortunately, after a heartbreaking loss Wednesday afternoon at Wells Fargo, the girls’ basketball season is over. The Rams started out the game strong and held a 14 point lead in the first half, but Iowa City fought back hard and challenged the Rams in an extremely close game. With 20 seconds left in the game, an Iowa City West player nailed a 3-pointer, securing Iowa City West’s lead. 
The Rams were unable to compensate for the lost points with the remaining time, and lost the game with a score of 43-40 in favor of Iowa City West. It was a very low-scoring game for both teams.
Despite the tragic loss, the girls’ basketball team had a spectacular season. They went into the state tournament ranked 6th in the state with a record of 17 wins and only 7 losses. With 3 of the 5 starters returning next year for the Rams and lots of underclassmen moving up to fill the shoes of the graduating seniors, next season holds great promises for the team.
