JV Girls Win Season Opener.

Hi Girls,

1-We got off to a great start for the season by beating Northeast Academy tonight 47 to 4.

2- As a team we made 23 out of 40 shots for 57.5%. A Team record for JV teams I have coached. We were 1 for 1 from 3 point range included in the 23 made shots. Our Starters in about 6 minutes of playing time made 15 out of 19 shots for 31 points and a shooting percentage of 78.9%. If we continued at that pace and the starters had played all 24 minutes we would have scored 124 points.

3- We had a total of 22 steals with the top 8 players making 20 of them. Individual leaders were Jamie and Jesse with 5 and Alex with 4.

4- We had 12 assists Lindsey had 4, Lindy, Jamie and Caitlin all had two.

5- We had 28 Rebounds with Lindy and Mer and Renee leading with 4 Reb's each, Renee had 3 in one possession on the offensive glass. Caitlin had 3 and Emily, Jordan and Alex all had 2.

6- Mer, Casey and Renee all had 1 block each.

7- Scoring Totals: Jamie 8, Jesse 8, Lindy 6, Alex 5, Lindsey 4, Emily 4, Caroline 4, Casey 2, Mer 2, Caitlin 2 and Renee 2. Eleven out of our 13 players scored. It is a team goal to have everyone score during the season. We will focus on Jordan and Megan scoring next time we have the opportunity. As a team we are shooting 100% from 3 the three point line, Alex shot one and made one.

8- It is also one of our team goals to dominate the Local Private Academies. We are off to a good start. We can accomplish another goal next monday by beating RRHS.

9- We played with great focus today. It was fun playing someone besides ourselves. We can be a great team if we continue to improve but we have to keep getting better because everyone we play will be getting better each day of practice. Enjoy this game until tomorrow at 10:00am. We will start getting ready for RRHS then.

10- By quarters we score from 1 to 4. 20, 13, 6 and 8.

Thought: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then becomes not a random act but a habit." Morgan Wooten all time winningest High School Coach:Dematha High,Md. Lets build on this great start by focusing on being great everyday.

I saw alot of hustle and heart out on the court today, be proud of yourselves, your coach is.

Play Hard, Play Smart and Play Together
