Completing and undefeated 7th grade girls basketball season, the Glen Crest Middle School Spartans posted a perfect record of 18-0. This total included a DuPage Metro Valley Association Conference championship and the Jayhawk Tournament championship. “They dominated their opponents with a 22-point average margin of victory and no game was closer than seven point,” announced Coach Craig Hofmann to the Glen Crest student body. Team members are Grace Buckley, Mady Carli, Ava Childs, Sarah Cohen, Tracy Conn, Ally Daca, Ashely Dodge, Bailee Flanagan, Kennedy Galuza, Kylee LaFalce, Kate Mora, Tess Schwarz and Irmina Shareef. Team managers are Danielle Ware, Grace Seter and Stephanie Smith. The award winning team is coached by 6th grade social studies teacher, Craig Hofmann and Danny Sheridan.
Earlier in the season, the girls joined the 7th grade boys, also conference champions, in a service project at Feed My Starving Children in Aurora. Both teams demonstrated excellence in character to match their basketball skills. Coach Hofmann commented: "These girls had basketball savvy far ahead of their years. They were extremely disciplined and unselfish, and the way they cared about each other translated into the way they played and succeeded."

Saturday’s performance was even more successful. Glen Crest Middle School Alice in Wonderland cast members gather around Alice and take their bows after the May 3 production. Jean Jeske
