Slow Start, Fast Finishes, Out of Time

To walk into the Dean Smith Center was almost too much for me to handle.  My stomach begin to have nervous pains.  It was exciting but scary to play in front of all of those college coaches.

We played our first game at the Deep South Tournament against Garner Flames from North Carolina.  In the first 10 minutes of the game, we were very slow and sluggish.  We ended the the first half with a 12 - 21 score.

Coach Wendy really got our attention at half and we were ready.  We out scored the other team 19 - 14 in the second half, but finished with a 4 point lost.



After the game, I was very disappointed we did not come away with a win.  While outside of the Dean Smith Center, talking with my teammates, we had a opportunity to take a picture with Coach Sylvia Hatchell.  What a great experience it was to stand so close to a Hall of Fame Coach.

Went 2 out of 3

This past weekend, we participated in the Fairfax Stars Tournament in Fairfax, Virginia, where we came away with a 2 - 1 record.  After losing the first game, the team decided to have a team meeting to discuss what improvements we need to make.  The second game was exactly the type of game we need to have.  We battled through out the entire game, which went into overtime.  In overtime, my friend Emily led the way with 2 put back baskets and a key rebound.  We were so excited about the win, that we took that excitement into our final game.  We won with no problems.

Stats will be listed on the side.  (coming soon)

Next for our Spotsy Sting with be the Deep South Tournament, in North Carolina.  Our first game is at UNC-Dean Smith Center at 11:30 am.  If we win, we will play at 5:20; if we lose at 3:30.
