Hi Girls,
Halifax JV Girls 22, Parrott Academy 16!!
Hope everyone enjoyed this one. 14 and 9 is our final record for the regular season. Considering we had to make some big adjustments after Hayley and Courtney went up to help the Varsity I think we did just great.
Right now we are playing our best basketball of the year. Be proud of yourself and what you accomplished as a TEAM. I am proud of you all, you have been a joy to coach. I consider myself a lucky man. We have now won 71% of our game over the past 2 seasons. Of course I still remember a few close one's that got away.
As a coach the #1 thing you can ask for is for your player's to play hard for you, Second you hope they play smart and know how to play and what to do in each situation, Third the team has to like each other and make a committment to play unselfishly. Last you hope they have the skills to make the first three things important. You girls have surpassed these important goals.
It has been a fun season. Basketball should be fun, I have tried my best to make learning how to play winning basketball both fun and educational. We learned a lot of basketball and I think we all had fun.

7- Team FG %: 8 out of 29. 27.5% Leader Jennifer Harvell 3 out of 5 60%.
8- Scoring by Quarters. 1st: 4 to 6 2nd: 7 to 4 3rd: 1 to 4 4th: 10 to 2. Final 22 to 16.
9- Parrott scoring: #4 K. Wilkerson 6, #12 Maddie Barker 6, # 5 Margaret Edwards 2, #2 Emily Buffloe 1, #22 Danielle McLaughlin 1, #3 Madison Mauck 0. The two girls that led them in scoring last game #3 and#5 were held to a total of 2 points. Great Work! Also, we kept them off the foul line this time they made 4 out of 7. Last time 11 out of 20. Two goals accomplished.
10- The box worked good but our old staple #24 defense probably won the game for us defensively. We are really a race horse pressing type of team by our personality. It is more fun to play that way. Our press offense was very important and worked well and we put the game away late again with our 4 corner offense. We prepared well and even on a off day we had enough heart and were prepared well enough to win this important conference game on their Senior night.
11- Due to school being out and so many girls being away to the Jr. Beta Club Convention Monday we will not practice. Tuesday we will practice, 3:15. Wednesday we will travel back to Raleigh to play St. Davids in the first round of the tournament. Enjoy your long weekend!
12- BTW, heard it might snow Monday!
13- Ashton had one of the great stat lines I have ever seen in JV Girls Basketball. It deserves some special recognition. Stat Line: 10 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks, 6 steals, 1 assist. Under the goal she played like a great athlete against children. She played with heart. We don't win without her effort yesterday. Of course she can't win by herself as good as she is playing either. We are a TEAM in the biggest sense of the word, somebody is going to step up and make the plays, everyone does their part to get the job done, you can count on your teammates making great effort. That has become this teams trademark.
That is what has made this TEAM Special!
Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together!! Go JV Viking Girls!
Coach May
