After several seasons of sitting near the bottom of the Fox Valley Association, the Oshkosh North girls basketball team had a breakthrough season in 2018, finishing 15-8 with an 11-7 conference mark. Head coach Jayme Engen knows exact- ly what kind of season his program had last year and how crucial it was after they struggled previously. “Last year was a great season for our program,” Engen said. “We had a couple down years prior, but were very competi- tive in the FVA. We GIRLS BB had six seniors with PREVIEW a lot of experience and good work eth- ic last season, and I was very happy for our girls that we had a very successful season. “It was great to see them progress from a three-win season to a 15-win season as they set the bar high for future years.
