Only One Way To Go: Up The upset of Amelia High School marked the 1st victory for CHS this year. The other two memorable games involved Prince Edward and Buckingham. When the girls defeated Prince Ed- ward, they showed that they had the quality needed for a good game, teamwork. The near upset of Buckingham in the Pit challenged all of the skills that the Dukettes possess. The Girls’ basketball team gave it all they had, but they still needed a little more improvement towards the end of the season. The season turned out to be rather slow, but at least the team showed that they can and are willing to im- prove their playing skills.
