The Doherty Bubble
Doherty is good. Really good. They ve lost once all season. That makes sense given their level of commitment. With the pandemic, the season wasn t guaranteed, so the lady Spartans decided to create their own bubble. They go to school online, and they leave only to play and practice, We already had a shortened season. To play, I decided to just stay completely online. Not only to limit the risk of getting Covid-19, but limit me getting quarantined, and having to wait two weeks to play, says Doherty guard, Payton Sterk.
The team bought in right away and that decision is paying off, It s like when you go to workout to get better. You do the extra things to get better. This year, staying at home was an extra thing you had to do to get better, in a way, says Doherty guard, Mackenzie Noll.
