As we hit the half-way point on our conference schedule, we’re 6-0 and in 1st place in the PCC East Region. That’s’ a good thing. The down-side is that there’s not much drama to build around as we enter the final stretch leading into the Regional playoffs. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t necessarily want a lot of drama, but it sure makes for some great basketball.
Looking back on last season, the most memorable games were the ones with some type of drama attached.
Do you remember the Grace newspaper article where Grace said that PCCS was the best team in the conference because they beat Grace by 15 points? Then we showed Grace that maybe they should keep quiet after we beat them by 36 points (they only scored 37 for the whole game against PCCS).
Or how about the endless drama that always seemed to accompany the PCCS games? Most of the drama with PCCS started in our rotation game where a few of their girls were crying during the game due to fatigue & shin splints. Then Rachel was knocked out cold and they got a 20-minute rest period to catch their breath while the EMT techs loaded her into the ambulance. We made up a 10-point deficit in a minute and a half and ended up losing by 2 points as the clock ran out. To add insult to injury, the newspaper had the front page picture of Sharee towering over Rachel (on the floor). The revenge game was born on that night.
Or how about when Mr. Thompson started running his mouth before the Championship game saying that Covenant would need our best three defenders to triple team Sharee if we wanted to stop her. We put Liz on Sharee to start the game and Liz held her scoreless in the 1st quarter.
And how cool was it to play mind games with PCCS by “occupying” their locker room before the Championship game and then taunting them for 15 minutes from across the hall?
This season, it seems the only drama swirls around the bus breaking down or how horrible the referees are.
As cliché as it probably sounds… I miss the good ‘ol days.
