*** Freshman Game Summary ***
Perrysburg 34, Springfield 17 - 2/18/2010
By: Dean Scheckelhoff |
The freshmen girls met up with the
Springfield Blue Devils to wrap up their NLL league
play and to finish their season. This game was
postponed from the 9th due to bad weather. This past
Tuesday the JV and Varsity played BG but the
freshmen had to watch since BG did not house a
freshman team this year.
The girls started out in a full court press falling
back into a man to man defense as Springfield played
a zone half court defense. The jackets started out
with some good defensive possessions, a couple of
good steals and some good offensive possessions but
the 2 week layoff played havoc on their ability to
put the ball in the hole thus the first quarter
results were Jackets 9 Springfield 0.
The second quarter started out with Springfield
hitting a 3 but the jackets responded with a 3 and
then dominated the quarter. The remaining time in
the quarter was much of the same as first with the
Jackets getting numerous shots at the basket but
being rewarded on just a few thus leading to a 19 to
6 lead at the half time buzzer.
I cannot say much about the 3rd and 4th quarters but
that is was pretty much the same as the first half.
It was very apparent from the start that the
Springfield girl’s ability was not at the level as
the Jackets. It doesn’t get much better than seeing
all the girls get playing time the last game of a
fine season. Third quarter score was 25-11 and the
final was 34-17.
What a great season girls, job well done, we are all
proud of you.
Final record 17-2 overall and 9-1 in the NLL
After the game Coach Derr presented the girls a NLL
champs t-shirt and the girls were able to cut down a
net in the balcony, both items gave the girls a
sense of accomplishment and a goal to repeat next
year.
I’m sure the girls and parents agree with me when I
say Thank You Coach Derr. |
