WT White Game

Since we lost to Richardson; the girls knew they had to beat WT White to advance to the playoffs. There was no doubt in my mind that we would win. For one, it was senior night and I knew our team would play HARD for our seniors. For two, Tierra Scott was out because she got a stomach virus and I knew that her teammates would play for her as well.

The girls started out slow, and I think the seniors were somewhat still emotional from realizing it was their last home game at Lake Highlands High School. All three seniors started. I was nervous about Sam playing since she recently had her second ACL repair, but she promised me she would stay away from the action. I told her as soon as she had a shot to take it. I told her when she scored; she was coming out. I wanted her to score one last time on her home floor. She not only scored, she scored a BIG three from a foot off the three point line. It was pretty. Perfect form, nothing but net, and of course she shot 1 for 1 and was 100% on shooting for the night! I am so proud that she got to play one last time and score one last time as a senior!

The first quarter we won 13-11, the second quarter we won 17-7, the third quarter we won 18-7, and the fourth quarter we won 15-12. The girls did a great job in the second quarter to pull away before the half.

Bridget O'Brien and Hannah Wedding only played a little over half a game, but both stepped up in a big way to fill Tierra Scott's shoes. They both scored more than they usually do and Bridget O'Brien scored 19 points. This is not only her all-time high, but it is also our teams all-time high for this year. She filled it up and did a great job on defense and setting the tempo too.

Mary Potter also had a great game. She scored well and looked for her shot, but she also assisted her teammates. She had some great looks and passing angles. I was proud because we have struggled as a team with good passing and passing angles. She did a great job.
