The 2008 edition of the girls basketball team at Lincoln High School included a bumper crop of seven players with three or more years of varsity experience—and all of the key members from the team that made the state quarterfinals last year.
Matthew Ginn, an independent photojournalist and multimedia producer based in Portland, Ore., followed the team from pre-season workouts to the state tournament, documenting a season neither he nor they will ever forget.

Matthew would like to extend his sincere thanks to Coach Jeff Peeler and his assistants, Keya, Suzy, Billy, and Aaron, for their time, patience and understanding in support of this project. Thanks also to Chad and Caples at Lincoln High School for their help in finding things and people.
To the Cardinals parents, thank you so much for your time, patience and support over the season, and especially to the Goodell's and Palmer's for letting me invade their home, even at unusual hours.
Special thanks go to the fantastic young women who make up the team for letting a stranger with cameras and microphones into your lives for a few months. I can't even describe how much I've enjoyed getting to know you over the season.
