RR Scrimmage Stats

Hi Girls,

It has been good to play some competition other than ourselves in the last week or so. It also is good for our development as a team. I think slowly we are beginning to stamp out an identity for this team.

Points: Emily 10, Kelly 7, Mer 5, Jamie 4, Alex 3, Lindsey 2

FG%: Emily 5/8*, Kelly 3/6*, Lindsey 1/2*, Jamie 2/5*, Mer 1/5, Jordan 0/1, Kim 0/2,
Alex 0/8. 33.3% is the minimum winning shooting % from the field and is marked with a *.
3Pts: Alex 1/2* ( This was good, but we need to keep the number on this shot down by moving the ball quickly and getting shots closer to the basket)

FTs: Kelly 1/1*, Mer 3/8, Jamie 0/2, Emily 0/2, Lindsey 0/1. Minimum winning % is 50 % marked with *.( We can do better, several of the shots were shot well and just did not go down.)

Reb's; offensive/defensive: Kelly 2/5=7*, Jamie 2/3=5*, Emily 1/4=5*, Mer 3/1=4*, Alex 1, Lindsey 1, Megan K 1, Kim 1, Leslie 1, Catherine 1. (Fairly good but not a dominant as we can be)

Assists: Lindsey 4*, Jamie 4*, Jordan 2*, Alex 2*, Megan 1*( At time we really showed how well we can pass, would have like to not have had the foolish unforced turnovers.)

Turnovers: Team 13.

Steals: Mer 2, Alex 2, Jamie 1, Lindsey 1. ( In general I did not feel we made enough steals considering the opportunities, however they did make unforced turnovers maybe due to not being able to get a good shot against our zone defense)

In general it was a fairly good showing, I thought the post players had a good game, I thought Jamie was dominant on defense. Lindsey did a good job of running the PG position. We need not fool ourselves though we need to keep pushing to get better and also find our teams identity. Every team is different and it is my job as your coach to find what we can do the best to gain an advantage in a game. I am seeing progress and I also think I know the direction we need to move in. Everyone keep working hard.

See you at practice tomorrow. Come ready to get better!

**Note: Never forget our #1 goal is to Win. I will never sacrifice a chance for our team to win as long as we have a chance. I think that if you give me 100% in practice and games it is my job to give you 100% chance to win.

Our 2nd goal is to develop the players on this team with skills and understanding of the game as much as possible. I have been impressed with the girls that have played for me and how much they have improved from year to year. This year is no exception. Keep pushing to get better.

Our 3rd goal is to have fun. Winning usually takes care of that. To me basketball when executed correctly is a beautiful game. Play with a passion for the game and a passion to get better, we can be no better as a team than how far that passion carries us.
