Courtney Janetzko is a center and forward for Del Val.

Her basketball career began in middle school and continued through high school.

Janetzko admits that basketball can come with some challenges.

”Keeping a positive attitude throughout the whole season can be hard because it’s a long one, and not getting frustrated when you make mistakes because everyone makes them [is important],” said Janetzko.

It is currently half way through of Janetzko’s final season at Del Val.

“It’s going pretty well right now,” said Janetzko. “I think it’s definitely going to hit harder once it starts getting to the end of the season and realizing it’s my last, but it’s going to be a good season.”

Janetzko advises other players to put in the work now because it will all pay off in the end.  

Katelyn Moschberger has played basketball since she was seven, and this will be her last season.

Moschberger shared how she feels about this being her last season.

“It’s fun, but it’s also sad at the same time because you’re not playing after, so it’s hard to keep going,” said Moschberger.

Throughout her career, Moschberger has had to overcome some difficult aspects of the game. She found that learning the plays and not getting frustrated with herself can prove to be a challenge.

Moschberg shared advice for younger players.

“Play when you can because as you get older you’re not going to get as many opportunities, so do it all while you can,” said Moschberger.
