Although we were scheduled for two back to back games on Saturday morning, at 8:00am and 9:00am, we came out ready to play and the weekend as a whole resulted in substantial success for the Panther Program. The girls battled fiercly for their first victory ever since the implementation of the Panther's middle school program. In our second game against Davis, we were outsized by the team as a whole, yet we adjusted our defense into a 2-1-2 and actually kept them out of the key for the remainder of the game. I was extremely impressed with the girl's hustle and ability to make adjustments on the fly. The Davis coach even commented after the game about how much the girls have improved and he was caught off-guard once we settled into the game :)

 

Our game on Sunday proved to be a step in the right direction as many of our girls took it upon themselves to step up and play at a higher level! We had standout play from Stephanie, Devyn, Destinee, and Sharon throughout the game against GV. I was hesitant to remove the press as our ball pressure was spectaculor and I wanted the girls to continue gaining their confidence, yet after we built our lead we dropped into a 2-3 zone and worked on filling the gaps.
