At the end of the 2022-2023 season, the prospect of the Exeter girls basketball team playing for a district championship was not on many’s minds — yet, 45 games removed from snapping a 60-game losing streak, that’s just what the Lady Tigers did on Saturday.
The last district championship for the Exeter girls basketball team came in 2011, and 14 years later — only two season removed from a three-year stretch with a single win — a shot at the Class 1, District 3 title is well within reach.
A dozen wins and a district tournament victory are the main goals for this year’s Exeter girls basketball team. Jennifer Young, Lady Tigers’ coach, said with a trio of returners and three more players with significant minutes, Exeter is poised to improve.
The Exeter girls basketball team set modest goals at the beginning of the season, to win five games and keep from being the lowest-seeded team in districts.
