Coaches Convention

Spring break has come and gone and we are headed into the month of April. One would think the days after the season are over move slowly, but in fact they move faster for me, too fast even. The days are longer and there is yard work to be done, recruits to be found, events to attend, letters to write, on and on, and next thing you know, the school year is over. At least we see the team coming and going as they miss the season now that they have had a break. They are thinking about next year and moving toward what they need to do. These next few days we have a chance to participate in our annual coaches convention, so we are off to Indianapolis and the Final Four. Looking forward to learning more and bringing it back to the team.

Season Over

It's the middle of March already! Hard to believe that our 2010-11 season has ended. Certainly this season was as good as any season the Yellow Jackets have had. Nobody expected us to accomplish what we did after the graduation of our 3-time Player of the Year, Molly Ariail, and Renee Stein. We coaches believed from the beginning that we had the makings of a good team and that if we did certain things, we would accomplish our goals. Well those 11-players did those things and then some! As a result, we won the seventh ODAC Championship for the program and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the ninth time. It goes to show that championships can be won with the right mix of players, work ethic, and attitude. We are very proud of this 2010-11 team.

ODAC CHAMPS

Three games in 4-days isn't as bad as it sounds when you end up victorious. Our championship run was incredible ending with a very dramatic finish. With 6.7 seconds remaining in the regulation game, we were down by 3. The coaching staff can't take total credit for this well-executed play by the team. We did run our press offense to perfection, however. As time was expiring, the screen set by Taylor was well done; and gave Jennifer the time she needed to "heave" (as the newspaper said) a bank shot and score 3-points. Epic is how one person described it. No matter the words used--we were able to gather ourselves after that shot and go on to win our 7th Conference championship. We are off to NCAA play this weekend.
