The Lindbergh girls basketball team is looking for its first win of 2025. 

Michelle Spencer’s squad is on a cold streak, not having won a game since Dec. 16. Since then, the Flyers have dropped six consecutive games. 

“We are struggling with finding consistency and playing a full 32 minutes,” Spencer said. “We work hard, and have had to grind out some games. Our focus is to continue to get better at the little things.”

The youth of the team is showing as they sit at 4-9 on the season, but Spencer has seen progress even though the record may not show it. In four out of six of Lindbergh’s recent losses, the Flyers were defeated by nine points or less.

“No surprises, we knew we were a young team going into the season and that there might be some growing pains along the way,” she said. “As long as we are moving in the right direction, we have to keep our heads up and keep working.”

Spencer has looked to seniors Kate Ritter and Sam Colvin to lead the way this season, and the pair are doing just that. Both are averaging double digits in points per game, with Colvin averaging just over 11 points per game and Ritter averaging 10.5 points per game. 

 Like many teams in the area, the recent weather has had an impact on Lindbergh. One game and a number of practices were canceled for the Flyers.

“It was definitely a different feeling having no games for two weeks but we just used it for a little rest and reset,” Spencer said. “It was out of our control, so we just made the most of it.”

Having reached the midpoint of the season, Spencer said her team is continuing to work hard each day during practice.

“I’m proud of the way our team competes,” Spancer said. “They come to practice every day ready to work and get better. We’ve taken some bumps lately, but we are finding positives with each game that we can build on. Our goal is to be playing our best basketball come February.”

The Flyers will resume action on Jan. 21 with a home tilt against Parkway South. 

“We are just trying to find more consistency,” Spencer said. “We need to take care of the ball better, limit the mental mistakes and just keep competing for 32 minutes a night.”
