From the Coach - JV Girls Basketball vs. Union Springs 1/5

The JV Girls improved their record to 6-2 with a win against Union Springs. The girls are riding a 5 game winning steak and hope to continue their steak against Groton Tuesday night. We had a great 1st half against Union Springs Friday night, scoring 16pts in the first quarter. Our press defense slowed down their ability to move the ball up the floor, allowing us to create turn-overs. Turn-overs are great defensively and when you can create points of turn-overs its a plus. We were able create points off turn-overs in the first half which helped us set up our press defense. The girls took a 27-6 lead at half-time. I told the girls that they needed to come up with the same intensity that they had in the first half, but it wasn't all too easy for them in the second half. I credit Union Springs defense in the second half. They came out with aggressiveness which caused us to turn the ball over. We needed to be patient against their zone, but instead rushed our shots and forced the ball into spots that were not open. Offensively we did not click in the second half, but the girls stayed together never giving up on each other. Our defense has been strong all year which helped us through the game in the second half winning 33-20.
