athletic chelsea comfort gained glad guard help leader move needed next point position ready year zone
I really gained what I needed with Delaney and that was a point guard, a leader on the floor. She was used to doing that as an eighth-grader, and I think it helped, not that we couldn't have used Chelsea Sager, but she was ready. Chelsea was ready to go up. She was big enough and athletic enough to move up, and I'm glad she did. Delaney got into her comfort zone and got a little more confidence, and I think that will help her for next year with the varsity point guard position being open.
create experience game hard playing situation tight work
They have to play. They need to get that game experience. It's hard to create a tight game situation in practice. Playing is important, but they need to work on ball-handling, too.
along ball beginning bought early games gave hard kept opened overall played shots sides simple together year
They played well together and got along well. They played hard from the beginning to the end. They were aggressive. They got after it on the floor. They never gave up. Many games were up-and-down games, but they never gave in. Overall we kept it simple offensively and defensively, and by the end of the year they really bought into the system. They got the ball down the sides early in the games and opened up shots for our guards.
