Today was our last practice before we take the floor tomorrow night vs Skyline HS at 6:00 in the Collinsville Girls Tipoff Tournament. The majority of our practice today was dedicated to fine tuning our skillls at our positions on offense and defense. We also spent a lot of time scripting our man and zone offenses along with our inbound sets and sideline inbound sets. Practice so far has went pretty smoothly which I hope means that we will be ready to take care of business tomorrow night. Our leadership during practice has seemed better than in the previous years so I am anxious to see us in action and I feel our players are also ready to show off their skills. Macey Simpson was able to participate more in today's practice and took part in all phases of practice with her running capabilities around 50 percent. With her rehab continuing for a few more weeks, we are hoping to have her back in the lineup around the Thanksgiving tournament.
Our entire girls basketball program is currently involved in our Free Throw Pledge Program. Each player collects pledges for shooting 100 free throws on Nov. 14. A portion of our pledge total will go toward the MS Foundation so if you have not made a pledge to one of our players or if you are a player and have not completed your pledges then let's get to WORK!!
Also, Happy birthday goes out to Mattie Lacey who turned 16 today. Go Lady Lions!!!
