Julia Henrikson, a junior at Oswego High School, has been playing basketball since second grade, along with being on the varsity basketball team since freshman year.
Oh yeah Oswego, get excited.
Girls Basketball: It was a game to forget for all involved. A game full of missed layups and turnovers, Oswego (14-7, 7-2) prevailed, winning over Waubonsie Valley 38-31. The Panthers only had one player reach double figures, but the real story came from the bench, where they got a big boost from senior Taylor Tarver and junior McKenna Engler.
Oswego’s varsity basketball (5-0, 1-0) has started red hot, jumping out to an unexpected 5-0 start including their first conference win on Wednesday against Plainfield North (2-2, 0-1). The opening push has been propelled by senior Kobe Adams, who is averaging 24 points per game in the first five games, including 25 in the 51-46 win over the Tigers.
The Panthers have had their ups and downs this season, but they are catching fire at the right time. A big part of that push is their senior core, which accounted for all but eight points in last night's game.
