Tonight the varsity girls played Skyline in the Collinsville Lady Panther Tipoff Tournament and was able to jump out to a quick 1st quarter lead. The girls were able to score the first 6 points of the game in less than 12 seconds into the game due to their pressing defense. The girls finished the first quarter with 31 points which could be a varsity girls record. Against the Skyline half court zone defense, the Lady Lions came out shooting and were able to hit three 3 pointers and take a commanding lead. There were several areas of strength that I thought was evident tonight which includes perimeter shooting, ability to press and react to opponents turnovers, and ball-handling. With the positive comes the negative, I thought we did a terrible job of boxing out on defense, our posts need to become more physical in the post area and our shot selection needs to improve.
All in all, I would definitely say this was a good sign of things to come this season!! Next the Lady Lions play Gaylesville in the Collinsville Tournament at 4:30.
GO LADY LIONS!!
