I have dreaded this game since last December. The 2nd ranked Lady Railroaders traveled to the Stardome at South Adams High School to take on the Lady Starfires tonight. The South Adams Girls Basketball program has struggled to win games. They have won only one game this year and have been beaten soundly by most of their opponents. It is just as hard to play this type of game as it is to play an opponent you know is going to beat you badly. It certainly is tough to Coach and tough to prepare for. Last year, we got accused by their former Head Coach of running the score up. You are in a no win situation with this type of game.
Our coaching staff led by Dan Feagler did a wonderful job tonight. All of our girls played. Craig Kelham did a great job playing all of his girls in the jv game and Dan did a great job distributing playing time for all of our varsity girls also. The only stat that's important is this: Every girl on the Varsity squad tonight played and scored. Heather House, Megan Getts, and Jessica LaTurner all were in double figures on the way to a final score of 68-15. The Lady Railroaders did not press at all during the game and still came up with 33 Starfire Turnovers.
We now have a 10 day break until the NHC-ACAC Challenge at Columbia City. The games will be much different on that day. Homestead has a great team this year and Columbia City is always tough and especially so on their home court. This challenge will tell exactly where we are in preparation for the post season tournament.
