The GV Middle School PTO meeting will be today at 5pm in the middle school library!
For the second time in the last three years, the Grand Valley girls basketball team is league champion.
With a 59-16 win on the road against Vienna Mathews, Coach Zach Sirrine's team clinched the outright title in the Stars Division. The Mustangs are 17-2 (13-1 NAC Stars Division), giving the program its most wins in a season in over two decades.
To celebrate, the Mustangs will cut down the nets in their home gymnasium tonight (Tuesday) after the boys' home game against Mathews. They're doing that because the GV girls don't have anymore home games this season.
"It's a testament to the girls and the hard work they put in this season and over the last three years," Sirrine said.
Cloe Turk led the team with 14 points, with Riley Rowan, Sophie Thirion and Spencer scoring nine apiece. As usual, the Mustangs' winning recipe included smothering defense that often resulted into turnovers and quick conversions.
"I feel we played well, especially on defense," Sirrine said. "Defense is what creates offense for us for sure."
Another common thread is scoring balance.
"We feel on any given night, four or five different girls can lead us in scoring," Sirrine said. "I feel like it's tough to stop us because of that. You just can't take one girl away."
The Mustangs travel to Cardinal on Thursday before wrapping up the regular season next week on the road against Perry and Crestview.
The first three years of the Sirrine Era of Grand Valley girls basketball has been a rousing success, with a championship in Year 1, a second-place finish last year and another title this year. Over the past three years the Mustangs have a 48-16 record.
The future is bright, too, with no seniors on this year's roster.
"We'll have our whole team back next year," Sirrine said. "Obviously I feel our program is in a great spot. We're trending in the right direction for sure. These girls are all super hard workers. The best is yet to come for this group.

What's the best way to cleanse your palate after a tough league loss?
By taking it out on your most fierce rival.
A few days after losing a 71-67 game to Fairport, which in all likelihood ended Grand Valley's dreams of a Northeast Athletic Conference title, the Mustangs' boys basketball team defeated rival Pymatuning Valley, 72-64.
The split week send's Coach Justin Turk's team into this week's schedule with a 14-4 overall record and 11-2 in the NAC).
"With a 48-hour turnover between the games, you don't have a lot of time," Coach Turk said. "But you don't have to do a lot of motivating when it's PV on the schedule. We like the opportunity to go to their place with an opportunity to get a win."
The Mustangs got out of the gates quickly against the Lakers, forging ahead for a 40-27 lead at the break. The second half saw both teams parade to the free throw line a lot as the teams combined for 57 charity shots in the game.
The Mustangs never lost the lead, though, and came away with the win. Carter Turk led with 24, while Solly Schultz hit for 10 and Anthony Eason for 10.
"Our first group went in knowing what they needed to do to control the pace and set the temp early," Turk said. "Carter and Solomon Schultz were aggressive early, which takes the pressure off everyone else. Hats off to our guys for being ready to go from the start. We had some foul trouble, but we were able to weather it and took it from wire to wire."
Things didn't go quite as smoothly in a road trip to Fairport, however. After taking a 22-15 lead in the first quarter, GV was outscored, 24-14, in the third quarter. It was a tight game down the stretch, but Fairport held on behind a huge night from junior Yomar Castellano, who had 39 points on the power of seven 3-pointers.
"With Fairport, it's kinda like pick your poison," Turk said. "We wanted to make sure other guys didn't beat us and we did a good job of limiting everyone else. Obviously we weren't able to limit their best player."
GV was led by Schultz' 22, with Carter Turk (16) and Cooper Plizga (10) next in line.
"We followed our game plan to a tee and had the ball with a chance to win the game at the end. That's all you can ask," Turk said.
The Mustangs have a handful of games on tap heading into postseason play. They host Mathews on Tuesday and then travel to Cardinal on Friday. The regular season wraps up with games Feb. 10 at Jefferson and Feb. 17 at home against St. John.
The tournament draw is Feb. 15.
"You want to be playing your best ball at this time of the year," Turk said. "I think we're doing that. We've won nine of our last 10 and playing our best basketball."

GRAND VALLEY Indoor Track
These guys requested to compete this weekend at Baldwin Wallace. It was different running on a 200m track and an experience to learn from. Proud of their effort and desire to get better. Walked away with some PRs and Season’s Best. Luke and Jenna qualified for the Elite Shot Put and both made the finals. Luke also placed 4th in the 400m dash.
