Just a little this and that about the basketball season here. It is Nov. and the season is just kicking off the 8th grade girls went to Andrews Monday and had a tremendous start beating up on them 66 to 4 I know that sound unbelievable but that was the final score How a 3AAA school of 8th graders can only score 4 points
in a basketball game. I don't know. The 7th graders won also handily.
Last night we went to the Varsity game the Fillies against Post and it was another blow out 84 to 36 or some thing like that it was not close. The only reason we went was to see Sharon Harkey play she is a freshman who was moved up to varsity this year And we have seen her play all through little dribblers and middle school she is just a real good kid and a very aggressive basketball player. We wanted to see how she played her first game on the big stage of Shallowater Girls Basketball and true to form she played outstanding double digit scoring great defence nice passing from the point guard position an all around great start to what we hope is a great career as a Filly. The other standout was Ashton Elliott the freshman from last year she has the quickest hands I have ever seen she get more steals than any two other players on the team.
Sara Warren had a excellent performance she was taking the ball to the hoop and finishing like a real seasoned player wait a minute she is a real seasoned player and it showed big time last night. If any one was wondering who was going to fill the spot left open by last years standout player Hailey Burton wonder know more it's Sara Warren. Katie Fowler played her usual solid game nothing fancy just good ball handling and good passing and shooting she is a rock. Brook Hatcher played a good game . Kylee Smith played a good game needs to get the three point shot going I am sure she will start hitting them soon come on girl you got that shot. Rebekah Jones made her varsity debut last night and appears to be the next starting post player she played very good . Westbrook played a good game a few bad passes a few bad fouls but over all she played OK It's really hard to play post if you don't have the height. She plays a physical game down low alot of pushing and shoving that will work until you have to play a real post player that is tall they will shoot over you and then you foul out. That is this teams Achilles heal. There post play. They have four post players and they all are good a different parts of the game but none can handle the ball the length of the court.Pounds is a good shot blocker Jones can shoot it down low, Westbrook is a great defensive player. Brawley is a good shooter from 10 foot and in jumpers. So we are just going to have to see how this year turns out
By the way it does look like coach Darden has put together another great team with all the talent he has to chose from it must be very hard to decide who's stay on JV and who moves up to Varsity because the JV
could beat the Varsity on the right day that's how good they are..
