Norwood eighth grade girls basketball recognizes Allison Reynolds and Elaina Matthews. Allison is a stand-out amongst her peers for having an exceptional work ethic and attitude. No one is as eager to learn as Allison. She has grown tremendously since her seventh grade season. During the game on Tuesday, she kickstarted Norwood's path to victory with an early three-pointer, allowing her team to build the momentum we needed. She is our well-deserved Athlete of the Week. Elaina demonstrated tremendous strength and effort in our game against Seven Hills. Elaina had eight rebounds, two steals, and three assists. Even when our team was losing, Elaina never missed a step and fought hard the entire game. Her growth from her seventh grade season is a testament to her work ethic and love for the game. She has also exhibited great poise under pressure and a gift for leadership.
