This season was in many ways, like falling down a flight of stairs... and somehow landing on our feet at the bottom. It was a difficult journey that ended well in the end.Between trying to integrate new personalities into the mix and develop the right chemistry, to coping with losing not one starter to an ACL injury, but two just weeks before Regional play began... this team stood strong in the face of adversity and showed why they have won FIVE State title in six seasons.
GCA came out pumped-up and playing with too much emotion. It may have gotten them off to an early lead, (8-2 at the end of the 1st) but we maintained our poise and weathered the storm and by the time the 2nd Qtr ended, we had gone on a 21-2 run that completely drained that energy from an overconfident GCA team.
We shot 38.5% from outside and that helped to stretch the defense and open up some easy baskets down low. And the one stat that jumped out at me??? We went to the line 22 times, GCA only went 3 times. Our fouls were in the back court while pressuring the ball, while they fouled us in the act of shooting just about every time we worked the ball inside.
Congratulation ladies... 5 Time Champs!
