We are five games into this basketball season so I wanted to give some thoughts on how things are going thus far.....
We were hit right away with 2 key injuries with captains Brittany Bogart and Heather Armbruster. Britt we expected to take over the center position and that plan did not quite shake out, but the really good news is that she will be back hopefully by the end of this month. The other player who has been injured is Heather Armbruster. Heather is one of our smartest players and our best outside shooter. Unfortunately for Heather and us it looks like she may not be able to play this season. These injuries have left us with a lot of inexperienced players having to step into roles we were not anticipating right away....that is a double edged sword. The new players are getting a lot of exposure, but they also have a lot to learn about playing at this level....
Although we are currently 2-3, I am very happy to say we have been in and led at some point, in every game we have played. I am also really happy with our game to game improvement. Each and every game thus far we have improved in one or more areas. We won our first OAC game vs. Marietta last Saturday in convincing fashion. It is great to start off our conference season on a positive note! This gives us momentum for another tough OAC stretch this week.
Our team is continuing to work hard each and every day and if we continue to work we will keep improving. I've enjoyed this team thus far because they want to learn and are willing to do what the coaches ask to get better. Overall, I believe we are moving in the right direction and I have confidence we will continue to get better. I predict by the end of the season we will be the team no one wants to play! Go Bears!
