It’s been a very unfortunate season for the Pitman Pride varsity girls basketball team and head coach Dustin Curtiss. First, their star player and last year’s Co-Player of the Year for the Journal Kaylin Randhawa is out for a bulk of the season, then on Jan. 23 it was official that senior Olivia Salafia was ruled out for the remainder of the year with a broken fibula and tibula. If that wasn’t enough, junior Emma Tolliver was ruled out of Tuesday’s home league game with Merced after sustaining a concussion.
