Dillard High School Girls’ basketball team ranked #1 nationally — Fort Lauderdale’s very own 2014-15 Dillard High School Girls’ basketball team, who recently won its ninth state title under the esteem leadership of powerhouse coach Marcia Pinder, is headed to New York City this week to compete in the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals. The entire school faculty and student body celebrated their #1 nationally-ranked team with a cheerful pep rally send-off in Dillard’s iconic gymnasium with encouraging speeches and performances by the cheerleaders and step team. ESPN and other popular new sources were also in attendance to document this great feat. “The girls have worked extremely hard for this opportunity,” said Head Coach Pinder. The Westside Gazette Newspaper wishes the team much success on their journey to becoming National Champs. (Story and photos by Arriale Henry)
