It’s been a historic year for Sweet Home’s girls basketball program, as the Huskies, under Coach Michelle Knight, made the state playoffs for the first time since 1992.
Knight said she was excited last week to have Linn-Benton Community College Head Women’s Coach Jerod Gibson put on a two-day clinic for Sweet Home’s girls.
“The girls and I learned a lot and had fun,” Knight said.
Gibson taught two sessions each day, the first for sixth- through eighth-graders, and the second for incoming ninth- through 12th.
Knight said the Huskies were eager to put what they learned to use in the fall, as they attempt to improve on a 10-14 overall record that included a play-in loss to Marshfield. They finished Oregon West Conference play 6-6.
