tonight we played our 7th game of the season and we are on a 3 game winning streak (i think).
we played Galva tonight who are a very well coached team with some very good players. I was excited and nervous because this game was gonna be a challenge for our "post" players (people that play in the free throw lane).
the game started off close. we jumped out to a small lead and held on until halftime. at the start of the 3rd quarter, we turned up the pressure a little and the girls stayed aggressive. we ended up winning the game by 13-15 points (i don't know the final score off the top of my head and forgot the score book at school).
I was very proud of how hard the girls played tonight. they played amazing defense, shot the ball well, and you should have seen some of the passes they made....AWESOME!!!
i think the girls are starting to hit their stride. hopefully its not to early, but either way, tonight was a good game to watch because they played hard all the way through.
i was especially proud of the girls that only got in for a minute or 2. they stepped in and we didn't loose a beat. out here they encourage that all the girls play and so we threw 3 girls in at the end when Galva was pressing and fouling. they kept their cool and didn't turn the ball over. hopefully they didn't see that final minute as garbage, because in all honesty, i didn't feel the game was over until the last 10 seconds.
anyway, i'm loving coaching, and the girls are amazing.
