The Skyhawks’ dream of a three-peat might have been dashed Saturday, but Cameron Brink wasn’t going to allow the heartbreak and emotions to define their season.
Southridge lost to Benson, 66-42, in the Class 6A state championship game at the Chiles Center. It was an outcome few expected, with tears flowing on the Skyhawks bench as the final buzzer sounded.
For Brink, Southridge’s junior star, she saw her teammates distraught over the loss, but reminded them to stay positive and smile during the customary photo op with the state trophy at the awards ceremony.
“We still got second place,” Brink said. “And we need to show others that you have a good attitude when you lose or when you win.
“I know it’s not the outcome we wanted, but we’re a young team and I think it’s just a learning experience for us to have a good attitude toward things.”
