When does losing 46 – 10 almost feel like a victory. When the team you are playing is on pace to score 80 points. That is what happened last Thursday night as we traveled to play Christian Heritage High School. They are a very good basketball team. We have been working hard on our defense and partway through the first half the CHS Crusaders were on pace to score 80. We challenged our girls to play better defense and they responded. Especially in the second half. In the first half the crusaders scored 29 points. In the second half they scored 17. Our offense was pretty stagnant, only scoring ten points. The game did end on a high note however. With time running out, Stephanie S. took a shot from beyond the 3-point line. The shot went in without hitting any rim!

Tuesday night we played another Region powerhouse in Intermountain Christian Academy. I do not have the JV book infront of me as I write this, so I can’t give an update of the JV game. What I can say about the game however, is that the coaches agreed that it was the best game they played this season. The did a fantastic job of taking care of the ball and being patient on offense. They played excellent defense as well.
Our defense started out great in the Varsity game. ICS is a fast team, and our girls played very good man to man defense in the first half. We were proud to see and hear our girls recognizing when screens were coming, calling for switches, and rotating to help each other when needed. Unfortunately, our offense was less than stellar as we were only able to mange 2 points by half time. Even thought we did not score many points, our girls were able to take care of the ball much better. Halftime score 17 – 2.
In the second half we switched to a zone defense and to ICS’s credit, they were able to hit quite a few jump shots from the open zones. Offensively we did better in the second half. Cami Driggs had 4 points in the second half, all on second chance points. That means that she was big inside getting rebounds. Final score 43 – 13.
