According to Jeff Linder of the Cedar Rapids Gazette West Delaware will not be fielding a varsity girls basketball team. The Hawks went 14-9 last season. This is part of a growing trend in the state of schools not having varsity girls basketball. More locally last year Charles City didn’t sport a varsity girls program.
Waverly-Shell Rock athletic director and girls basketball coach Greg Bodensteiner says there is a variety of factors at play in schools making this decision. He says the bottom line is that coaches need to styme the trend.
