8- Some Notes and Thoughts: We can be impressive when everybody commits to playing defense hard every second of every possession. There was quite a buzz among our fans about how hard we played on defense and how pretty it was the way we passed the ball. I love basketball when it is played that way. I am so very proud of the way we are evolving as a team.

Think about it Play Hard=Tough Defense/Tough on the Boards. Play Smart= Getting in the right places so good things can happen and making the effort to make things happen once we get there. Play Together= Sharing the ball, making the extra pass, covering our teammates man when they get beat to not give up a easy basket. Our Grades on each section for tonight would probably be, Play Hard 98% (100% in the second half), Play Smart 99%, Play Together 100%.

I left us a little room for improvement. Our next step to improve is even better execution and individual skill improvement. Great Game Girls.

9- We have now won 11 games against a very good schedule. Unfortunately there is no where to hide as all of the rest of our games will require our very best basketball. Our conference is tough.

10- Practice on Friday from 3:15 until 5:00pm. We have to get ready for St.Davids on Monday and Rocky Mount on Tuesday.

11- Destiny has cake duty for Monday.

12- We have improved greatly as a team since the beginning of the year. We have also improved greatly since our mid season make over. Be proud but don't forget that the opposition is probably improving some also.

13- You girls have been a wonderful joy to coach and to teach. I actually enjoy practice more than games, but well played games like today are very rewarding. We are developing a beautiful style of basketball. I see it, you see it, and the knowledgeable fans that follow us see it. Let's keep it on the upswing.

14- According to our stats I think it is possible we did not get credit for a 2 point basket scored by Ashton Bradley put on the scoreboard. Our stats show her with 5 baskets out of 15 shots. This would give us 14 baskets plus 2 out of 10 from the foul line which would be 30 points instead of 28.


Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together. Go Vikings!

Coach May
