New win streak begins

The Patriots played the Southside Baptist Torchmen (Torchwomen?) yesterday afternoon at their home court in Oak Lawn. This was a last-minute addition to both of the teams' schedules, as Southside had a cancellation that opened up a date for us.

The game was against Southside's junior high team which was quite young and small. This was reflected in the tone of the game, which the Patriots won, 36-4. Southside had no answer for Mary, who dribbled through their defense rather easily. Coach tried to keep the score down, but Julia was not able to attend this game, so he really couldn't clear the bench. We will probably try to schedule their JV or varsity next year.

The game did give opportunities for the other two non-starters as well as some scoring chances for starters who usually don't score. Mary did lead in scoring, however, with 12, but Michele was right behind her with 10. Among the non-starters, Alyssa had a big game with 6, and so did Cassidy who had 4. Kara rounded out the scoring with 4 as well. Leading rebounder was Jackie with 9. Alyssa had 6, and Mary, Becca, Michele and Cassidy (yes, Cassidy) had 3 each. Jackie, Alyssa and Mary had 3 assists apiece.

Next game is Monday, January 28 at 4:00 at Stone Christian in Palos Heights. See you there.

This was the first game I have been able to see. Keep this unit together for a couple of years and you will be a force to be reckoned with. Remember the fundamentals are the foundation of a good team.
