LFS Varsity Girls End Season with Overtime Loss to St. John's in Playoff Semifinals
Our varsity girls basketball team showed admirable effort this past weekend in the semifinals of the SYBL playoffs. After outscoring St. John's in the first half 18-8, the girls were in for a much tougher battle in the second half. St. John's pushed the game into overtime after a layup with 20 seconds to go in regulation and ended up winning, 36-29. St. John's moved on to the finals, while Little Flower's season came to an end.
This team will go down in history as one of the best girls teams to ever suit up for Little Flower. Their overall record was 15-2. Their regular season record was an astonishing 10-0, beating every team in the league. They won the tip-off tournament last November, and had winning streaks of 8 and 7 games, respectively. Regardless of the outcome of the playoffs, this team has a lot to be proud of.
We thank the girls and their coaches for representing LFS so well throughout the year. We are proud of each and every one of you! A special thanks goes to our graduating players - Hannah Lawrence, Jessica Gardiner, and Kylie Blevins - we will truly miss you!
Please come out and support our players at the SYBL Showcase games on Friday, March 11th, at St. Mary's College. Our girls coaches - as winners of the South Division title - will also be coaching the South in the girls all-star game. Our cheerleaders will also be performing several routines! See you there!

We want to pack the gym with Patriot fans - we look forward to seeing you all there!
SYBL at the Comcast Center
Our annual Sunday Youth Basketball League's day at the University of Maryland's Comcast Center was this past Sunday, and what a day it was! Our girls competed on the Black team and lost a close game versus Red, 37-32. We had 6 girls represented on the Black team, and they all played with heart and passion! Our boys played in a losing effort versus Red, as well. Our cheerleaders did an excellent job cheering throughout the day - even during timeouts and at halftime of the Maryland women's game versus Virginia! The SYBL had almost 650 people there representing our league - what a great day to be an LFS Patriot!

A special thanks goes to Mrs. Nancy Szewczyk, our cheerleading coach, and all of our awesome cheerleaders for always doing such a great job supporting our LFS teams!
