Back to the Hardwood in 2010

I can't wait to get back on the court next week.  On yesterday we worked hard in practice on breaking the press, toughening up on defense, and outside shooting. 

The next game is coming up on Tuesday against our rival, Courtland High School.  Quite a few of Courtland's players are my teammates in the off season, when we play AAU ball with "Spotsylvania Sting".  They are:  Anika Trent, Janae McNeal, Jessica Hariston, Kelsey Teeple, Kristin Brown and Imani Fernell.  Some of them play with the younger "Sting" team.

Even though they are my friends, I will play hard like I do against anyone else.  Whatever happens. . . happens.  When it's all over we'll still be friends.

Big Things Come in Small Packages

We love to pressure teams. This helps build our intensity in the game. Once we're on, WE ARE ON! Our thing is to try to cause the opponent to make as many turnovers as possible and then to score off of their mistakes.

It feels good to be one of the leaders on my team, but I try to stay humble. I thank God for my gift everyday. It's not just me; its my teammates that carry us. Without the TEAM sticking together as a whole unit, it will be very hard for us to win.
