The JPRD Girls 8U basketball team on the Eastbank is aiming to do something that has never been done for its division and park — win a national championship.
The budding basketball stars have been training for weeks to get to this point, leaving for Lafayette on Friday morning for the tournament that runs through March 31.
Their camaraderie goes beyond the court, with the girls bonding over basketball and making new friends.
The girls managed to win the regional tournament in St. Charles Parish, going from the losers’ bracket to winning back-to-back games to secure the title.
