Girls Basketball Preview
The girls’ basketball team started their season with the
home opener against Beth- Center Lady Bulldogs this past Friday. From this
game and until the girls last one sometime in February, we will see the team
succeed and fail. Goals of some teams will be to win the section title or
make it to the playoff but one thing that every coach wants to see is their
players to improve. “If we can improve everyday and be in a better position
than we were from the beginning; we have accomplished our mission.” said
Coach Lane.
With the leader in scoring and rebounding, Megan
Stuvek, graduating last year, the Lady Mikes had to change their game plan.
This year the lower classman had to step it up in making baskets, grabbing
the rebounds and making the adjustment to pressing the opposite team in full
court. Summer basketball leagues have made the players gain advantage and
made this transition a lot smoother.
Those are not the only adjustments the team had
to make. This season the girls have a new assistant coach, Miss Brianna
Rice. Miss Rice has brought a new outlook and has been a positive influence.
“Miss Rice is a definitely a positive attribute to the team. She is just
like one of us. I think she’s a great coach.” said Shayleigh Busti, a junior
on the team. So as the season continues we will see how the girls adjust to
everything and how the games will fold out.
Good Luck Lady Mikes
