Girls Varsity Basketball: Annie Coody ’29
Annie was great last week in our game against Williston and the week before in our win against Hotchkiss. She’s been playing very heavy minutes for us and delivering more and more each game. Last week she played 30 minutes against Williston and guarded their best player for the entirety of it. Against Hotchkiss, she played every minute of the second half and guarded every position on the floor. In addition, she’s been making some really strong plays with the ball in her hands and has become a real threat on both ends of the floor.
