The girls basketball team from Bishop O’Connell High School in Arlington traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C., last month to compete in the United Bank Holiday Invitational. The team won their first game, 61-17, against Socastee from Myrtle Beach. They went on to defeat Westlake from Atlanta, 55-46, before facing Phillips Simmons from Charleston, S.C., in the title game. The Knights prevailed, 48-34, to take home the John Rhodes Division Championship trophy.
“The team had many great moments and demonstrated strength when challenged with adversity,” said head coach Brittany Davis. “I’m looking forward to the second half of our season, as they continue to improve with each practice.”
